Minerals are part of all the tissues in the body, eg: Calcium, Iron, Mg, Mn, Selenium, etc.
Minerals form crystal structures.
Particles that make up minerals join to form crystals. Crystals are solid structures with a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules.
Yes, they must be in that form to be absorbed by the body.
The repeating patterns of a mineral's particles that form a solid are called crystal lattice structures. These structures are responsible for the characteristic shape and properties of minerals.
Homologous structures are body parts of different organisms that have a similar form, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. These structures may serve different functions in each organism but share a common ancestry.

Maybe minerals is a type of structures of phosphates or carbonates
Yes, they must be in that form to be absorbed by the body.
When minerals form slowly without space restrictions, they will develop well-formed crystal shapes with distinct geometric patterns and well-defined faces. This process allows the mineral to grow freely in all directions, resulting in large, ideal crystal structures.

Homologous Structures
No, minerals cannot be broken down by digestion. They remain intact and are absorbed by the body in their original form.
Gypsum and Halite are both formed from the body of salt-water.
Homologous structures are body parts of different organisms that have a similar form, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. These structures may serve different functions in each organism but share a common ancestry.
Thread like structures in fungi are called hyphae .
