The mineral that assists with bone health, muscle contraction, and blood clotting is the mineral that assists with bone health, muscle contraction, and blood clotting is calcium iron sodium potassium

The right answer is Calcium

99% of the calcium is located in the bone, ensuring the skeletal strength and the hardness of the teeth.

In children and adolescents, it promotes bone growth; in young adults, it participates in the maintenance of bone capital; in the elderly, it contributes to the prevention of osteoporosis.

Beside the bone, calcium has other functions like blood coagulation, muscle contraction, nerve conduction, activation of certain enzymes.

Adequate calcium intake - consistent with the recommended dietary intakes - would have a preventive effect against high blood pressure.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
