The summer wind, came blowin' in-from across the sea. It lingered there, to touch your hair-and walk with me. All summer long, we sang a song-and then we strolled that golden sand. Two sweethearts, and the summer wind. Like painted kites, those days and nights-they went flyin' by.
Iron is a trace mineral needed to make hemoglobin, the protein needed to carry oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin gives red blood cells their color, and stores most of the body s iron supply. Iron is also stored in muscle tissue, and helps supply the muscles with the oxygen needed to make them contract.
Overview. Iron is the fourth most abundant mineral in the earth's crust after oxygen, silicon and aluminum. Plants derive 2.5 percent concentrations of iron from all the elements they derive from the soil. Iron is classified as a trace element, or micro-nutrient, because it is only needed in small amounts. Too much iron can be toxic to plants.
