Question

2. which of the following is not a function of calcium.
A) Provides required energy to the body
B) Helps bones and teeth to grow and become stronger
C) Helps in blood clotting
D] Helps in muscle contraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

D helps in muscle contraction

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is A).

Explanation:

• The most prevalent mineral in the body, calcium is responsible for four main bodily processes: strong and healthy bones, improved nerve-to-nerve transmission, increased muscle contraction, and activation of blood clotting factors.
• Calcium is a nutrient that is most frequently linked to bone production and metabolism.
• As calcium hydroxyapatite, which gives bones and teeth their strength, calcium hydroxyapatite makes up almost 99 percent of the calcium in the human body.
• It is essential for mediating vascular contraction and vasodilatation, muscle function, neuronal transmission, intracellular signalling, and hormone secretion that calcium is present in the circulatory system, extracellular fluid, muscle, and other tissues.
• Through the process of bone remodelling, bone tissue acts as a calcium reservoir and supply for these vital metabolic requirements.

Calcium does not provide the required energy to the body.
