What is the most logical chemical explanation of calcium's ability to perform such different functions?
the bone contain calcium salt whcih are less reactive than the calcium ions found in the blood.

Normally stored in the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
One major function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum is the regulate the intracellular levels of CA2+ for contractions and relaxation for muscles. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum is a storage organelle with calcium ion pumps on membrane and use ATP to fuel pumps to get calcium ion inside it's cell and holds it. When contraction of muscle is needed calcium ion is then dumped into cytoplasm to cause contraction.
How many calcium ions in one mole?
A mole of calcium has 6.022 X 1023 calcium ions.
What are the ions like in calcium bromide?
Calcium ions have a charge of plus two, and bromine ions have a charge of minus one.
Is calcium chloride a sulfite?
No, calcium chloride is CaCl2 containing calcium ions (Ca2+) and chloride ions (Cl-). A sulfite must contain sulfite ions (SO32-)
In what ratio do calcium and hydroxide ions combine?
One Calcium ion to 2 hydroxide ions.
How many ions of calcium present in 40 grams of calcium carbonate?
9.03x10 23 ions
What is the symbol for the ions in calcium sulphide?
The chemical formula of calcium sulfide is CaS; the ions are Ca2+ and S2-.
What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?
The ions are: Ca2+ and Cl-; the ratio chloride ions/calcium ions is 2.
What are the ions for calcium fluoride?
The individual ions for calcium fluoride have the formulas Ca+2 and F-1 respectively. That means that in any sample of calcium fluoride, there must be twice as many of the fluoride ions.
What is the purpose of the sodium-calcium exchanger in cardiac muscle?
Unlike skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles need extracellular calcium ions in order to perform contractions. The sodium-calcium exchanger is the protein that facilitates this transfer, trading calcium from outside the cardiac cell with sodium inside the cell.
