Question

Which mineral plays important role in the maintainence oh pH of intracellular water and osmotic pressure?

Answer 1

In our body, mineral salts along with glucose, proteins and urea are key substances for osmotic regulation. These molecules being inside or outside of the cell generate a larger or smaller osmotic gradient between intracellular and extracellular space. Role of mineral salts in nervous system The mineral salts play important role in the creation of electric voltage at cellular level. This cellular electric activity depends on the concentration of the cations and anions between inner and outer surfaces of the cell membrane. This is very important function which allows the neurons work. Role of mineral salts in enzyme activity pH regulation is very important because some enzymes work only under certain pH range. The mineral salts play important role pH regulation. Further, some minerals work as cofactors of enzymes and without them, enzymes cannot work.
