What is bone synthesis?
Precipitation of the salt calcium phosphate among fibers of the protein type I collagen. This results from raising the concentrations of calcium ions and phosphate ions beyond their "solubility product" concentration. This occurs next to special cells called osteocytes, and not inside their cytoplasm. Nobody has discovered the mechanism by which osteocytes pump high concentrations of calcium ions and also high concentrations of phosphate ions into the same locations. One theory is that a special protein ("osteoid") binds to both calcium ions and phosphate ions, so that they precipitate at concentrations that would not be high enough to cause precipitation if no osteoid were present. If you know how osteocytes cause bone synthesis, then you should publish this information in a refereed journal, such as Nature. akharris@bio.unc.edu
How does phenol work against bacteria?
At concentrations above 1% phenol has a significant antibacterial affect. Derivatives of phenol, called phenolics, injure the lipid-containing plasma membranes of bacteria and cause the cell to leak its cellular contents.
Which is a common element in the human body that is located mostly in bones?
Calcium is the most common mineral in the body. It makes up 2% of your total body.Phosphorus is the second at 1%.Bone function is the first role calcium plays, next it is essential for blood clotting, stabilizing blood pressure, normal brain function and communicating essential information among cells.
What mineral is an essential compont of chlorophyll?
magnesium. we have iron in our hemoglobin, and plants have a similar shaped molecule with magnesium in the same location, called chlorophyll
Cells that free calcium from bone to maintain blood calcium levels are called?
osteoblasts
Why does water become hard?
Some water is called ''hard'' water because, of all the deposits in the water.
What are the dissolved salts in the ocean called?
The salts are: sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium chlorides.
What is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium magnesium carbonate?
Dolomite, also called dolostone.
A solution containing concentrations of H plus ions higher than pure water are called what?
acids
What kind of chemicals melt ice?
These chemicals are called deicing substances: chlorides of sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium.
Why does dolomite does not react to diluted HCI?
Dolomite is CaMgCO3 where some or all of the calcium is substituted by magnesium, and is sometimes called dolomitised limestone. Magnesium does not react with HCl, therefore HCl is always used as an indicator for calcium carbonate whether calcite or aragonite.
How does the permutit process work?
permutit is a process of reducing of temporary and permanent hardness of water .The naturally occuring is called zeolite. permtit is artificial compound.when hardawater is passed through zeolite the calcium and magnesium salts reacts with sodium zeolite and forms calcium and magnesium zeolites.
Does rainwater Not Contain Any Dissovled Minerals Is Called Hard Water?
No; hard water contain carbonates and sulfates of calcium and magnesium.
What are the ingredients in acid indigestion tablets?
Indigestion tablets contain three main ingredients, these are: sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate and light magnesium carbonate. These are called antacids.
What is the layer of the moon composed of silica magnesium and iron?
The layer of moon that is composed of magnesium, iron,silicon (not silica) is called Crust.It is outermost layer of the moon. It also contains Calcium,Aluminum and Oxygen.
What is the 5 salts in the sea called?
Examples: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium choride; other salts are in traces.
What do you call water without much calcium and magnesium?
Water without or low in hardness is called: SOFT
