protected by a hard shell. Garden snail also known as Helix aspersa. The body of the snail is long‚ moist and slimy. It has a shell to protect its soft body. The shell of a snail is made up of calcium carbonate. The shell becomes very strong and remains that way as long as the snail consumes a diet that is full of calcium. When the snail is disturbed‚ it simply withdraws or pulls itself back into its shell. The snail also retreats into its shell and seals the entrance in dry weather to protect its body from

Experiment and Observation: In this experiment I developed a familiarity with the concept of water hardness‚ practice a titration technique using a titrator. By finding the total hardness‚ I was analyzing the water sample for the combined concentration of calcium and magnesium ions. When making the buffer‚ the sample turned blue‚ allowing me to get a sense of what color I would be looking for later on in the experiment. I tested my tap water for the total hardness by adding EDTA solution through a titrator

prevent osteoporosis depend on whether it is due to environmental factors‚ or genetics. Genetic form of osteoporosis cannot be prevented. However‚ you can decrease your risk by not being too skinny‚ because the bones deteriorate faster‚ consuming calcium‚ exercising and keeping a proper meal plan.

weakening of bones in children also known as Osteomalacia in adults‚ usually because of a vitamin D deficiency or genetic condition. Vitamin D is what promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the Gestational Intestines tract. When a person has a vitamin D insufficiency it makes it difficult to maintain proper calcium and phosphorous levels in the bones. There are several different

maintains life. In reality there are 20 minerals that play a way bigger role than I ever knew in how healthy your body is and stays. Some minerals have a specific role it plays‚ where others play many different roles. Calcium is a good example of a mineral that has many roles. “Calcium alone keeps bones strong‚ regulates blood pressure‚ helps muscles contract‚ and transmits nerve signals from cell to cell” (Grosvenor & Smolin‚ 2006). Minerals have two functions in our bodies by either building
