Students should rec-ognize photosynthesis as the primary source of energy in coral reef systems and the role of the algae living within the coral tissues (zooxanthellae). Ask students to identify organisms that could provide an energy source for their miniature coral reef ecosystem.
Requirement: Iron which is considered to be a trace mineral also plays a vital role to perform various body functions. Healthy body requires sufficient amount of iron. Everyday our body requires around 10 mg to 18mg of iron. 70% of iron is stored in hemoglobin and 26% of it is stored in liver, spleen and bones. Importance: Iron is a mineral which is responsible for the conversion of blood sugar into energy.
Iron, after all, is essential to life. Most iron in our bodies is incorporated in hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and in myoglobin in muscle, but every living cell has and needs iron to function. Iron is also stored in the liver, spleen and bone marrow.Without it, your cells would become starved for oxygen, your brain and muscles wouldnât function, and your immune system would be impaired, among other problems.ost iron in our bodies is incorporated in hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and in myoglobin in muscle, but every living cell has and needs iron to function.
