The cage of any organism is the whole set of elements of the periodic table of Mendeleyev, on average in various cages happens from 70 to 90 and more chemical elements, but only small part of them meet in all groups of cages.
Instruction
1. Basic elements which meet in cages it is hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. These chemical elements are called biogenous as they play a crucial role in activity of cages. Ninety five percent from all cellular weight fall to their share. Such substances as sulfur and phosphorus which together with biogenous elements form molecules of the main organic compounds in cages supplement these elements.
2. Existence of macrocells is not less important for functioning of animal cages. Their quantity is small, less than a percent from lump, but the advantage is invaluable. Such substances as sodium, potassium, chlorine, magnesium and calcium belong to macrocells. All macrocells are in cages in the form of ions and are directly involved in a number of cellular processes, for example, ions of calcium participate in muscular contractions, motive functions and fibrillation, and ions of magnesium are responsible for work of ribosomes. Plant cells also do not do without magnesium – it is a part of a chlorophyll and provide functioning of mitochondrions. The sodium and potassium, elements which are contained in human cages, in turn, are responsible for transfer of nervous impulses and a warm rhythm.
3. Not less important functional value also minerals - the substances which are not exceeding the contents in one 100-th percent from all mass of cages have. This iron, zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt, zinc, and for a certain type of cages also a pine forest, aluminum, chrome, fluorine, selenium, molybdenum, iodine and silicon.
4. Importance of the elements which are a part of cages is not reflected in percentage. For example, without copper the functioning of oxidation-reduction processes will be under a big question, besides this element, despite small contents in cages, is of great importance in life of mollusks, being responsible for transportation of oxygen on an organism.
5. Iron – the same microcell, as well as copper, and its contents in cages is small. But without this substance of the healthy person it is simply impossible to present. The gem of hemoglobin and many enzymes cannot do without this element. Iron also is a carrier of electrons.
6. Cages of seaweed, sponges, horsetails and mollusks need such element as silicon. Its role at vertebrate animals is not less expressed – its most high content in ligaments and cartilages. Fluorine in large numbers meets in cells of enamel of teeth and bones, and the pine forest is responsible for growth of vegetable organisms. Even the smallest maintenance of minerals in cages has the value and plays the imperceptible, but important role.
