Question

Name the two major elements present in bones.

please give me correct answer for this question​

Answer 1

Answer:

➡Mineralized tissues, such as bone, teeth, antler and horn, are important elemental storage sites in animals. These tissues contain necessary elements, both major, such as calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg) and sulphur (S), and trace elements, such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and cadmium (Cd).

Answer 2

Answer:

Ca and P

Explanation:

Living cells are encased in a mineralized organic matrix in the formation of bones. The inorganic composition of bone (bone mineral) is predominantly made up of calcium and phosphate salts, with hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 being the most common salt. As a result, bone contains Ca, P, and O. Carbon is also found in bone since it is about 15% carbon by weight.
