What else can I help you with?
What mineral or substance is removed from the baked bone?
bone marrow
What substance contained in the bone provides for its strength and hardness?
The primary substance responsible for the strength and hardness of bones is hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline mineral compound made of calcium and phosphate. This mineral gives bones their rigidity and ability to withstand mechanical stress.
Why a bone is not a mineral?
its not a mineral
Where are mineral store?
Minerals are stored in the bone. To be more specific, the mineral that is stored in the bone is calcium.
What substance do bone cells take from the blood to keep it hard?
Bone cells take calcium from the blood in order to keep bones hard and strong. Calcium is a key mineral necessary for bone formation and maintenance.
How Is coal a mineral?
Coal is not a mineral. A mineral is a solid non-organic substance. Coal is an organic substance.
What is the most abundant chemical substance found in bone?
Calcium hydroxyapatite is the substance most commonly found in bones. Almost 50 % bone is made of this salt and rest is organic material, mostly collagen fibers. Bones are porous so light weight and Calcium salt gives it hardness and organic fibers gives it flexibility like cement and steel rods in cement concrete.
Is a mineral soft?

A mineral needed by bone cells?
A mineral needed by bone cells is called calcium. It is essential for structure, strength, and growth of the bones and bone cells.
What are the parts of bone matrix?
The bone matrix is composed of two main components: organic (collagen fibers and proteins) and inorganic (mineral salts like calcium and phosphate). The organic components provide flexibility and tensile strength, while the inorganic components provide hardness and rigidity to the bone.
