Minerals play an extremely important role in the life of living organisms. Along with organic substances, minerals are part of organs and tissues, and also participate in the metabolic process.
All mineral substances, based on their quantitative content in the human body, are usually divided into several subgroups: macroelements, microelements and ultraelements.
Macronutrients are a group of inorganic chemicals present in the body in significant quantities (from several tens of grams to several kilograms). The group of macroelements includes sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, etc.
Microelements found in the body in much smaller quantities (from several grams to tenths of a gram or less). These substances include: iron, manganese, copper, zinc, cobalt, molybdenum, silicon, fluorine, iodine, etc.
Ultramicroelements, are contained in the body in extremely small quantities (gold, uranium, mercury, etc.).
The role of minerals in the body
Mineral (inorganic) substances included in the structure of the body perform many important functions. Many macro and microelements are cofactors of enzymes and vitamins. This means that without mineral molecules, vitamins and enzymes are inactive and cannot catalyze biochemical reactions (the main role of enzymes and vitamins). Activation of enzymes occurs through the addition of atoms of inorganic (mineral) substances to their molecules, while the attached atom of an inorganic substance becomes the active center of the entire enzymatic complex.
The entire set of macro and microelements ensures the processes of growth and development of the body. Minerals play important role in the regulation of immune processes, maintain the integrity cell membranes, provide tissue respiration.
Maintaining Consistency internal environment(homeostasis) of the body, primarily involves maintaining the qualitative and quantitative content of minerals in tissues and organs at a physiological level. Even small deviations from the norm can lead to the most severe consequences for the health of the body.
Sources of minerals
The main source of minerals for humans is consumed water and food. Some mineral elements are ubiquitous, while others are found less frequently and in smaller quantities. Nowadays, given the disturbed ecology, best source may be dietary supplements (biologically active additives) and purified mineralized water.
Different foods contain different amounts of minerals. So, for example, in cow's milk and dairy products contain more than 20 different minerals, the most important of which are iron, manganese, fluorine, zinc, and iodine. Meat and meat products contain microelements such as silver, titanium, copper, zinc, and seafood– iodine, fluorine, nickel.
Diseases caused by a lack of minerals most often occur in certain regions of the globe, where, due to geological features, the natural concentration of a particular microelement is lower than in other areas. The so-called endemic zones of iodine deficiency are well known, in which such a disease as Goiter often occurs - a consequence of iodine deficiency.
However, much more often, a deficiency of minerals in the body occurs due to improper (unbalanced) nutrition, as well as during certain periods of life and in certain physiological and pathological conditions, when the need for minerals increases (the period of growth in children, pregnancy, breastfeeding, various acute and chronic diseases, menopause, etc.).
Potassium– is the main ion of the intracellular environment. Its concentration in the blood is many times less than inside cells. This fact is very important for the normal functioning of body cells. Like sodium, potassium is involved in the regulation of electrical activity of organs and tissues.
The main source of potassium for humans is fresh vegetables and fruits.
Calcium. The total mass of calcium in the adult human body is approximately 4 kilograms. Moreover, its main part is concentrated in bone tissue. Salts of calcium and phosphoric acid are the mineral basis of bones. In addition to minerals, bones also contain a certain amount of proteins, which form a kind of network on which mineral salts are deposited. Proteins give bones flexibility and elasticity, and mineral salts give them hardness and rigidity. Several grams of calcium are found in various organs and tissues. Here calcium plays the role of a regulator of intracellular processes. For example, calcium is involved in the mechanisms of transmission of nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another, participates in the mechanism of muscle and heart contraction, etc.
The main source of calcium for humans is animal products. Dairy products are especially rich in calcium.
Phosphorus (P) - intracellular enzyme. The element phosphorus is necessary for the normal functioning of the central nervous system.
Biological significance of phosphorus
Phosphorus compounds are present in every cell of the body and are involved in almost all physiological chemical reactions. Phosphorus P enters the human body with food. Phosphorus is found in the following foods: fish, meat, poultry, unrefined grains, eggs, nuts, seeds.
A sufficient amount of calcium and vitamin D in the body is important for the proper functioning of phosphorus. The ratio of Ca (calcium) and phosphorus (P) should be two to one. An excess of iron, aluminum and magnesium makes the effect of phosphorus ineffective.
Magnesium (Mg, Magnesium)- an active intracellular element, part of a number of enzymes. Magnesium is also found in red blood cells, muscles, liver and other organs and tissues. The element magnesium is most necessary for the functioning of the heart, nerve and muscle tissue. Many vital processes of the body depend on magnesium content.
Magnesium in foods is found in lemons, grapefruits, figs, nuts, seeds, dark green vegetables, apples. Magnesium from foods may not be absorbed when taking alcohol or diuretics, oral contraceptives and estrogens.
Minerals are divided into macroelements, microelements and ultramicroelements.
Macroelements include: phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium.
Microelements include: fluorine, cobalt, iron, manganese, as well as copper, zinc and other microelements.
Ultramicroelements - selenium, gold, lead, mercury, radium, etc.
Biological role of minerals in the human body
1. Mineral substances in the body are part of a complex of substances that make up the living protoplasm of cells, in which the main substance is protein.
2. They are part of all intercellular and intercellular tissue fluids.
3. They are part of supporting tissues, skeletal bones, and teeth.
4. They are part of some endocrine glands (iodine is part of thyroid gland, zinc - in the composition of the pancreas tissues of the gonads).
5. Part of complex organic compounds(jelly in the composition of hemoglobin, phosphorus - in the composition of phosphatides).
6. In the form of ions, they participate in the transmission of nerve impulses.
7. Provide blood clotting.
One of the most important minerals is calcium.
Calcium is a constant component of blood. It is involved in blood clotting, is part of cellular and tissue fluids, cell nucleus. Calcium plays an important role in the process of cell growth and activity. It is involved in the regulation of cell membrane permeability and in the processes of transmission of nerve impulses. Calcium is of particular importance for muscle contraction. It controls the activity of a number of enzymes, participates in the formation of skeletal bones - it is part of supporting tissues, skeletal bones, and teeth.
Calcium deficiency leads to disruption of the above functions, especially bone osteoporosis.
Green onions, parsley, and beans contain calcium. Significantly less in eggs, meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, berries.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is part of nucleic acids and a number of enzymes necessary for the formation of ATP.
The body's daily requirement for phosphorus is 1200 mg.
Phosphorus is found in eggs, cereals ( buckwheat, oatmeal, millet). Legumes, meat, fish, milk, hard cheese, bread are also a source of phosphorus for the body.
Magnesium
Magnesium, along with potassium, is the main intracellular element. It activates enzymes that regulate carbohydrate metabolism. Stimulates the formation of proteins and regulates the storage and release of energy in ATP. Magnesium reduces excitation in nerve cells and relaxes the heart muscle. He raises motor activity intestines, helps remove toxins and cholesterol from the body.
The daily requirement is 400 mg per day.
Magnesium is found in: brown rice, beans, bread, beans. Its sources are also cereals, seafood, and meat. Magnesium is found in milk, as well as in parsley, dill, lettuce, apricots, raisins and bananas.
Micro and ultra microelements
Iron is necessary for the biosynthesis of compounds that ensure respiration and hematopoiesis, participates in immunological and redox reactions, and is part of the cytoplasm, cell nuclei and a number of enzymes.
Requirement: men - 10-20 mg per day, women - 20-30 mg per day.
With iron deficiency, anemia develops, gas exchange and cellular respiration are disrupted.
Iron is found in: bread, beans, soybeans, lentils, meat, fish, spinach, corn, carrots, eggs.
Zinc. Insufficient intake of this microelement in the body leads to decreased appetite, anemia, lack of body weight, decreased visual acuity, hair loss, and contributes to the occurrence of allergic diseases, dermatitis, delayed puberty in boys.
The daily requirement is 12-50 mg.
Zinc is found in bread, meat and internal organs animals, as well as in eggs, fish, crabs, oysters, and cheeses. It is found in: soybeans, lentils, green peas, oatmeal, corn, rice, onions, blueberries.
Selenium. With selenium deficiency, immunity decreases, liver function is impaired, and the tendency to inflammatory diseases, cardiopathy, atherosclerosis, diseases of the skin, hair, nails, and the development of cataracts. Growth slows down and reproductive function is impaired.
The daily requirement is 200-100 mcg.
Selenium is found in bread, rice, beef, chicken, sea fish, soybeans, lentils, sunflower seeds, garlic, pistachios, coconut, eggs.
Copper. Copper deficiency negatively affects hematopoiesis, iron absorption, and connective tissue, the process of myelination in the nervous system, increases the susceptibility to bronchial asthma, allergic dermatoses, cardiopathy, vitiligo, violates menstrual function among women.
The daily requirement is 1-2 mg.
Copper is found in cucumbers, liver, nuts, cocoa, chocolate, poultry, cheeses, eggs, mushrooms, fish, walnuts, parsley, dill, cilantro, beef liver, pork liver, in various meats.
Cobalt is integral part vitamin B12. This vitamin is necessary for rapid cell division in hematopoietic tissues bone marrow And nerve cells, stimulates erythropoiesis.
With cobalt deficiency, anemia occurs, a violation menstrual cycle in women, hyperpigmentation.
The daily requirement is 14-78 mcg.
Cobalt is found in meat, liver, beans, peas, fish, seafood, beets, lettuce, parsley, black currants, red peppers, buckwheat, millet, eggs.
Manganese plays an important role in cell metabolism. Manganese deficiency leads to disorders carbohydrate metabolism, hypocholesterolemia, delayed hair and nail growth, increased convulsive readiness, allergies, dermatitis, impaired cartilage formation and osteoporosis.
The daily requirement is 2-9 mg.
Manganese is found in flour, bread, buckwheat, millet, legumes, beets, parsley, dill, raspberries, black currants, liver, and kidneys.
Iodine - participates in the formation of thyroid hormones, takes part in the oxidation of fats, mobilizes protective mechanisms in the body.
The use of iodized salt is the main prevention of iodine deficiency. Her daily requirement 5-10 g per day.
Iodine is found in: seafood, eggs, milk, beans, soybeans, lettuce, grapes.
Along with organic substances - proteins, carbohydrates, fats - the cells of living organisms contain compounds that make up a wide group of mineral substances. These include water and various salts, which, being in a dissolved state, dissociate to form ions: cations and anions (negatively charged). Often minerals are part of complex organic matter– for example, metalloproteins (metal proteins). Thus, iron is included in hemoglobin; magnesium, manganese, copper, cobalt and other metals - in the composition of many enzymes, etc. Minerals are vital components of nutrition that ensure the normal functioning and development of the body.
The animal body is very sensitive to deficiency, and even more so to the absence of certain minerals in food. They are very important for maintaining acid-base balance in the body, creating physiological concentration hydrogen ions in tissues and cells, interstitial and intercellular fluids(i.e. creating a normal reaction of the environment) and giving them the properties necessary for the normal course of metabolic and energy processes, incl. water-salt metabolism. Minerals are of great importance for the formation and formation of protein, as well as for the activity of the endocrine glands (eg, iodine for the thyroid gland), and their role in enzymatic processes.
Water is the most important component of all organisms. It serves as a solvent various substances; V aquatic environment various chemical reactions occur, including enzymatic ones; water is formed as a product of oxidation reactions of organic substances. In the majority chemical reactions, which underlie the vital activity of the body, water is involved to one degree or another.
Calcium. The importance of calcium in the body is very high. Its salts are a constant component of blood, cellular and tissue juices; they are part of the cell nucleus and play an important role in the processes of cell growth and activity. Food calcium, assimilated by the body, has a significant effect on metabolism and contributes to its fullest use in the body. nutrients. Calcium compounds strengthen the body's defenses and increase its resistance to external unfavorable factors, including infections.
Calcium is especially important for the formation of bones - it is their main structural component, most of the body's calcium is concentrated in the bones. The rest of the calcium is part of the blood and tissues, both in the form of ions and in a protein-bound state. Calcium metabolism is characterized by the fact that if it is insufficiently supplied from food, it still continues to be excreted from the body in almost the same quantities due to its reserves.
Calcium is a difficult-to-digest element, and only the impact bile acids on its compounds allows you to transfer them to an assimilable state. The most important thing in the absorption of calcium is its relationship with the phosphate content in food. Calcium absorption is negatively affected by excess magnesium in food. Vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium and its retention in the body.
Phosphorus relates to vital necessary substances, it is part of all tissues of the body, especially muscles and the brain, is involved in all types of metabolism, is necessary for the normal functioning of the nervous system, heart muscle, etc. In the tissues of the body and food products phosphorus is contained in the form of phosphoric acid and organic phosphorus compounds (phosphates). The bulk of phosphorus is contained in bone tissue in the form of calcium phosphate (calcium phosphate), the rest of the phosphorus is part of soft tissues and fluids. The most intense exchange of phosphorus compounds occurs in the muscles. Phosphoric acid is involved in the construction of molecules of many enzymes, nucleic acids, etc.
Need human body in phosphorus is satisfied by proteins, fats and carbohydrates introduced with food; it also depends on the amount of calcium in food.
Magnesium. The metabolism of phosphorus in the body is closely related to the metabolism magnesium. Most of Magnesium is found in bone tissue. In blood plasma, erythrocytes and soft tissues Magnesium is mainly found in an ionized state. Some of it is bound to proteins, especially enzyme proteins; magnesium is absolutely necessary for the activity of some enzymes.
The inhibitory effect of magnesium ions on the nervous system is eliminated by introducing calcium salts into the blood. The biological role of magnesium, in addition to its participation in catalytic processes carried out with the help of some magnesium-dependent enzymes, also consists in normalizing the excitability of the nervous system. Magnesium has antispasmodic and vasodilating effects and, in addition, the ability to stimulate intestinal motility and increase bile secretion.
Potassium. Potassium plays an important role in intracellular metabolic processes. Many enzymes cannot perform their catalytic functions in the absence of potassium ions. Important has potassium to ensure the constancy of the internal environment of the human body, as well as to conduct nerve impulses to the muscles.
Potassium has a diuretic effect, i.e. an increase in its content causes an increase in the excretion of water from the body; A lack of potassium in the body is accompanied by the development of edema, and the conduction of nerve impulses is disrupted. Excessive amounts of potassium are quickly removed by the kidneys, with the simultaneous excretion of water.
Sodium. Sodium, which is found in all tissues and biological fluids human body. Sodium salts play an important role in ensuring the constancy of the internal environment of the human body and take an active part in water metabolism.
Sodium chloride plays an important role in the regulation of water metabolism. Excreted in urine and sweat significant amount sodium chloride. Losing it has a bad effect on the body’s condition and causes a decrease in performance.
Chlorine. Despite the fact that chlorine enters the human body mainly in the form of sodium chloride, the exchange paths for chlorine and sodium are not the same. Of interest is the ability of chlorine to be deposited in the skin, retained in the body when ingested in excess, and excreted through sweat in significant quantities. The chlorine content in food products is insignificant; it enters the body mainly in the form of table salt.
Disturbances in chlorine metabolism lead to such pathological conditions, such as the development of edema, insufficient secretion gastric juice and etc. Sharp decrease Chlorine content in the body can lead to a serious condition, even death. An increase in chlorine content in the blood occurs when the body is dehydrated, as well as when excretory function kidney
Bromine- a permanent component of various tissues of the human and animal body. Bromine enters the human body mainly through food products. plant origin and a small amount of it is introduced with table salt containing bromine impurities. Bromine salts are widely used in medicine as medicines.
Fluorine. In bones and teeth, fluorine is in an insoluble state in the form of calcium fluoride salt of phosphoric acid and fluorapatite. Fluoride enters the body mainly through drinking water.
Iodine found in all human tissues. However, it is mainly found in the thyroid tissue as part of its hormones - triiodothyronine and thyroxine. Lack of iodine in foods causes dysfunction of the thyroid gland, accompanied by its proliferation. It is possible to protect people from this disease by additionally introducing iodine into the body.
Iron is part of extremely biologically important organic compounds - blood hemoglobin, myoglobin, enzymes. The main physiological significance of iron is its participation in the process of hematopoiesis.
Iron has the ability to accumulate in the body. In addition to its hematopoietic function, iron plays an important role in the redox processes occurring in the body; it is part of the molecule of oxidative enzymes.
Copper plays an important role in the human body and is part of some oxidative enzymes. Copper is of great importance in the processes of hematopoiesis, in the synthesis of hemoglobin and cytochrome enzymes, where its functions are closely related to the function of iron. Copper is important for growth processes (a significant amount of copper is taken up by the fruit). Copper affects gland function internal secretion, has an insulin-like effect, and therefore copper compounds are sometimes taken by patients with diabetes mellitus.
Microelements are of great importance for the body cobalt, strontium, manganese, zinc, cesium etc. The body needs only negligible, trace amounts of these elements, but their role in metabolism is very large. The biological role of cobalt is largely associated with its participation in the catalytic enzymatic function of vitamin Bi2, of which it is an integral part. Strontium is part of human bones.
Manganese is part of the molecules of some enzymes and stimulates their activity. Zinc is found in a number of enzymes that absolutely require it to be active. Cesium is found in animal tissues in very small quantities, its physiological and biological role is not completely clear.
The cell is not only structural unit of all living things, a kind of building block of life, but also a small biochemical factory in which various transformations and reactions occur every fraction of a second. This is how the necessary components for the life and growth of the body are formed. structural components: cell minerals, water and organic compounds. Therefore, it is very important to know what will happen if one of them is not enough. What role do various compounds play in the life of these tiny structural particles of living systems, invisible to the naked eye? Let's try to understand this issue.
Classification of cell substances
All compounds that make up the mass of the cell, form its structural parts and are responsible for its development, nutrition, respiration, plastic and normal development, can be divided into three large groups. These are categories such as:
- organic;
- cells (mineral salts);
- water.
Often the latter is classified as the second group of inorganic components. In addition to these categories, we can identify those that are made up of their combination. These are metals that are part of the molecule of organic compounds (for example, the hemoglobin molecule containing an iron ion is protein in nature).
Cell minerals
If we talk specifically about the mineral or inorganic compounds that make up each living organism, then they are also different in nature and in quantitative content. Therefore, they have their own classification.
All inorganic compounds can be divided into three groups.
- Macroelements. Those whose content inside the cell is more than 0.02% of total mass inorganic substances. Examples: carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, magnesium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, sulfur, phosphorus, sodium.
- Microelements - less than 0.02%. These include: zinc, copper, chromium, selenium, cobalt, manganese, fluorine, nickel, vanadium, iodine, germanium.
- Ultramicroelements - content less than 0.0000001%. Examples: gold, cesium, platinum, silver, mercury and some others.
You can also especially highlight several elements that are organogenic, that is, they form the basis of organic compounds from which the body of a living organism is built. These are elements such as:
- hydrogen;
- nitrogen;
- carbon;
- oxygen.
They build molecules of proteins (the basis of life), carbohydrates, lipids and other substances. However, for normal functioning The body also responds to mineral substances. Chemical composition A cell contains dozens of elements from the periodic table, which are the key to successful life. Only about 12 of all atoms do not play a role at all, or it is negligible and not studied.
Some salts are especially important and should be ingested with food every day. sufficient quantity so as not to develop various diseases. For plants, this is, for example, sodium; for humans and animals, this is calcium salts, salt as a source of sodium and chlorine, etc.
Water
Cell minerals combine with water to form general group therefore, it is impossible not to talk about its significance. What role does it play in the body of living beings? Huge. At the beginning of the article, we compared a cell to a biochemical factory. So, all the transformations of substances that occur every second are carried out in the aquatic environment. It is a universal solvent and medium for chemical interactions, synthesis and decomposition processes.
In addition, water is part of the internal environment:
- cytoplasm;
- cell sap in plants;
- blood in animals and humans;
- urine;
- saliva and other biological fluids.
Dehydration means death for all organisms without exception. Water is a living environment for huge amount various representatives of flora and fauna. Therefore, overestimate the importance of this inorganic matter complex, it is truly infinitely large.
Macronutrients and their importance
Mineral substances of the cell for its normal functioning have great importance. First of all, this applies to macroelements. The role of each of them has been studied in detail and has long been established. We have already listed above which atoms make up the group of macroelements, so we will not repeat ourselves. Let us briefly outline the role of the main ones.
- Calcium. Its salts are necessary for the supply of Ca 2+ ions to the body. The ions themselves are involved in the processes of stopping and coagulating blood, providing cell exocytosis, as well as muscle contractions, including cardiac ones. Insoluble salts - basis strong bones and animal and human teeth.
- Potassium and sodium. They maintain the condition of the cell and form a sodium-potassium pump for the heart.
- Chlorine - participates in ensuring the electroneutrality of the cell.
- Phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen are components many organic compounds, and also take part in muscle function and bone composition.
Of course, if we consider each element in more detail, then a lot can be said about both its excess in the body and its deficiency. After all, both are harmful and lead to various kinds of diseases.
Microelements
The role of minerals in the cell, which belong to the group of microelements, is also great. Despite the fact that their content is very small in the cell, without them it will not be able to function normally for a long time. The most important of all the atoms listed above in this category are:
- zinc;
- copper;
- selenium;
- fluorine;
- cobalt.
Normal iodine levels are necessary to maintain thyroid function and hormone production. Fluoride is needed by the body to strengthen tooth enamel, and by plants to maintain the elasticity and rich color of leaves.
Zinc and copper are elements found in many enzymes and vitamins. They are important participants in the processes of synthesis and plastic exchange.
Selenium is an active participant in regulatory processes and is necessary for work endocrine system element. Cobalt has another name - vitamin B 12, and all compounds in this group are extremely important for the immune system.
Therefore, the functions of mineral substances in the cell, which are formed by microelements, are no less than those performed by macrostructures. Therefore, it is important to consume both in sufficient quantities.
Ultramicroelements
The mineral substances of the cell, which are formed by ultramicroelements, do not play as significant a role as the above. However, their long-term deficiency can lead to the development of very unpleasant and sometimes very dangerous consequences for health.
For example, selenium also belongs to this group. Its long-term lack provokes the development cancerous tumors. Therefore, it is considered indispensable. But gold and silver are metals that have negative impact on bacteria, destroying them. Therefore, inside the cells they play a bactericidal role.
However, in general, it should be said that the functions of ultramicroelements have not yet been fully revealed by scientists, and their significance remains unclear.
Metals and organics
Many metals are found in organic molecules. For example, magnesium is a coenzyme of chlorophyll, necessary for plant photosynthesis. Iron is part of the hemoglobin molecule, without which it is impossible to breathe. Copper, zinc, manganese and others are parts of the molecules of enzymes, vitamins and hormones.
Obviously, all these compounds are important for the body. It is impossible to classify them completely as mineral, but they still partially should.
Cell minerals and their significance: grade 5, table
To summarize what we said during the article, we will draw up a general table in which we will reflect what mineral compounds there are and why they are needed. It can be used when explaining this topic to schoolchildren, for example, in the fifth grade.
Thus, the mineral substances of the cell and their significance will be learned by schoolchildren in the course of the main stage of education.
Consequences of a lack of mineral compounds
When we say that the role of minerals in the cell is important, we must give examples that prove this fact.
Let us list some diseases that develop with a deficiency or excess of any of the compounds identified during the article.
- Hypertension.
- Ischemia, heart failure.
- Goiter and other diseases of the thyroid gland (Graves disease and others).
- Anemia.
- Improper growth and development.
- Cancerous tumors.
- Fluorosis and caries.
- Blood diseases.
- Disorder of the muscular and nervous system.
- Indigestion.
Of course, this is far from full list. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully ensure that daily diet nutrition was correct and balanced.
