Question

first, discussion about Essential Elements

Some elements are essential to our health, like oxygen that makes up carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and DNA. Mention another two elements (essential or non-essential) and discuss their function in our body and why they are important to the well-being of human body. Do not repeat other students answers.

Second, respond for this guy he said ( There are many important elements that make up our body. One of those elements is calcium. Calcium is important because it keeps our bones and teeth strong and healthy. This gives our body skeletal structure and protects our organs. Phosphorus is another important element in the body. It works in conjunction with calcium to keep bones and teeth strong and healthy. It is also needed in the body to make protein for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells and tissues. It is very interesting how the elements are at work in our body.)

Answer 1

Trace elements such as iron, and iodine are vital for maintaining health. Also referred to as microminerals.

Iron (Fe) as a component of hemoglobin in blood, one of the most important functions of iron is to transport oxygen from the lungs to different parts of the body. In myoglobin, iron enables storage of oxygen in muscle cells. Iron is also part of many enzymes and is essential for growth, healing, immune function and synthesis of DNA.

Iodine is critical for formation of thyroid hormones or thyroxine. Inadequate production of thyroid hormones can cause enlargement of the thyroid gland, also known as goiter, while its deficiency during pregnancy can cause irreversible brain damage in newborns. However, you can get sufficient amounts of iodine by consuming iodized salt, seafood, eggs and milk.
