Important in acid-base balance; also a concern that Americans eat too much Used as a seasoning but also important in active transport of glucose Important in production of gastric juice Osteopenia results from lack of this minearl Mineral that makes up part of the cell membrane DNA Important mineral in ion transport Deficiency rare due to high presence in amino acids Electrolyte found in highest concentration in the cells Intake of this mineral directly correlated to intake of sodium

Solution

Sodium is important fo acid-base regulation and it has been found that Americans eat too much salt which contains large amounts of sodium.

Sodium and potassium are used as seasoning and sodium is used in the active transport of glucose.

Chloride, sodium and potassium ions are important in the production of gastric juices.Chloride and sodium ions are secreted separately fro parietal cells creating a negative potential. the secreted sodium ions are reabsorbed and hydrogen ions released through carbonic anhydrase reaction and chloride ions are mixed and released into the canaliculi.

Osteopenia is caused due to lack of calcium. Osteopenia is caused due to decreased bone density in-turn leading to increased bone fragility.

A mineral that makes up part of the cell membrane and DNA is phosphorus. cell membrane consists of phospholipid layer and DNA consists of phosphate backbone that makes the structure of DNA helical.
