Answer 1

The highest concentration of minerals are found in A. Bones

Answer 2

Option A) Bones.

An adult human's body contains about 1,200 g of calcium, of which bones account for more than 99 percent.

Minerals in Bones:

• With a percentage of 1.5 to 2 percent of the body weight, calcium is the most prevalent mineral in the human body.

• Some vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates are stored in the liver. These offer the body an essential source of energy, which the liver converts into glycogen for more effective storage (see "metabolism").
• For periods when they might be deficient in the diet, the liver stores vitamins and minerals.
• Marrow is found inside the long bones' core chamber. Red and white blood cells are created in the red marrow.
• Minerals and lipids are stored and released.
• In addition to giving bone its hardness, the mineral component of bone also acts as a mineral reserve that can be used as needed.
