What if the function of the calcium in the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Divalent Cation: Calcium is necessary to make bones and teeth, but even plants require calcium because it is the mineral that neutralizes the phosphates on Adenosine tri-phosphate, atp, the form of energy used by all living things. This means it is crucial to the contraction of muscles, including the heart.
