Mg, Mn, Co, Ca, Cd, Fe, Zn, Se
Some of the essential metals in the human body include iron (in red blood cells for oxygen transport), calcium (in bones and teeth for structure), zinc (in enzymes for various functions), and magnesium (in muscles and nerves for function). These metals are distributed throughout the body in different tissues and organs based on their specific roles and functions.
all are non metals
From what I understand is that your body can make protein from the amino acids it makes in your cells. Well, there is 8 essential Amino Acids that your body can not make. That is why we eat animal proteins( such as eggs, milk, meat, and fish) because they contain those 8 essential amino acids. There is Essential Amino Acids in plants, just there is very rarely all 8 of the essential amino acids.So one of the main reasons we eat proteins is to get the essentail amino acids. With these Amino acids, your body can make the protein it needs.
Eight.
The important alkaline earth metals in the human body are calcium and magnesium. Calcium is essential for bone and teeth formation, muscle function, and nerve transmission. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, muscle function, and DNA synthesis.
Our body is mainly made up of nonmetals
metals
Metals such as iron, steel, and titanium are known for their rigid properties. These metals are widely used in structural applications where strength and durability are essential.
Metals taken as micronutrients, in the body are dissolved in water; it is not a chemical reaction.
The human body is composed of about 65% metals, such as iron, zinc, and copper, which play essential roles in various biological processes. Nonmetals make up the remaining 35%, including elements like oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, which are crucial for sustaining life through processes like respiration and metabolism.
There are 8 essential amino acids that the body can't make. Plants have all of them in different concentrations.
This is because animals are heterotrophic. We cannot manufacture essential amino acids in the body ( these are usually amino acids 8/10) so tear amino acids need to be obtained externally from food sources. Of we do not eat food the the body will not be able to produce these essential amino acids and the essential proteins that are needed by the body.
