What else can I help you with?
Elements used as nutrients such as iron are called what?
Minerals.
Calciun and iron are examples of?
Calcium (dairy products/cheese) and iron (eggs/fish) are examples of minerals; calcium is a major mineral. They are both healthy for your body.
Are minerals essential to a plants growth?
Yes; the most important are: phosphates, nitrates and potassium As chloride. Micronutrients are: calcium, sulfur, iron, magnesium, selenium, sodium etc.
What are iron calcium and potassium called?
the last I heard they were callee Iron, Fe calcium, Ca and potasium, K
How does calcium aid in the absorption of iron in the body?
Calcium aids in the absorption of iron in the body by helping to regulate the production of a protein called ferritin, which stores iron in the body. Calcium also competes with iron for absorption in the intestines, which can help prevent excessive iron absorption.
What are the macronutrients and micronutrients needed by plants?
macronutrients= nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Micronutrients= boron, iron, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and copper.
What are macronutrients micronutrients?
The nutrients which are required in small quantities are called micronutrients e.g. iron, molybdenum, boron, chlorine, zinc etc. Similarly, the nutrients which are required in large quantities are called macronutrients e.g. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, magnesium, potassium etc.
What are some examples of minerals in the food chain?
The most common would be calcium, iron, and manganese.
What are four examples of metal?
sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, iron, cobalt, copper
What happens when calcium oxide reacts with iron?
Iron will react with calcium oxide as iron is more reactive than calcium, therefore calcium (which is the more reactive metal) will displace calcium (the less reactive metal) to form a compound. This is called a displacement reaction.
What is the product of iron sulfate plus calcium carbonate?
The product of iron sulfate reacting with calcium carbonate is iron carbonate and calcium sulfate. The iron from the iron sulfate displaces the calcium in the calcium carbonate to form iron carbonate, while the sulfate from the iron sulfate combines with the calcium to form calcium sulfate.
Why are vitamins and nutrients called micronutrients?
Vitamins and minerals are only required in the diet in very small amounts (milligrams or micrograms, depending on the vitamin or mineral). Macronutrients on the other hand are needed in gram amounts, for example protein or fat.
