Trace minerals are needed in much smaller amounts than major minerals, but they are just as essential for good health. they are stable in cooking, and the amounts found in plant foods are somewhat dependent on mineral content of the soil where those foods are grown. some are removed during processing, so whole grains are higher in trace minerals than refined grains are. this section will review these substances.

match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.

zinc
manganese
copper
heme iron
nonheme iron
fluoride
selenium

Animal bodies (and even plant bodies for that matter) are complex enough that life couldn't exist without enzymes. enzymes are usually large, complex biological catalysts that are expensive to make. enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being used up during the reaction (they can be reused many times). they are highly specific in the reactions they regulate. knowing what enzymes are and how they function, why does this explain why complex life forms could not exist if there were no enzymes.

Juan and carol were studying invertebrates in biology. they knew that segmented or earth worms preferred a dark, moist habitat. during this lab, they would be investigating the responses of organisms called planaria or dugesia tigrina. these were simple flatworms that still had a one-way digestive system and a very simple nervous system. juan and carol placed the planaria in a petri dish containing cool, distilled water that was partially covered with black paper. they shined a light on the dish. next, they removed the paper and placed a small amount of chicken liver at one end of the dish. they added a few large salt crystals to the water. finally, they added drops of hot water to the cool water in the petri dish. their results can be seen in the data table. according to their experiment, all but one conclusion is valid.
