Inorganic salts can be used for a wide range of raw materials
The various inorganic salts dissolved in the cells have a certain total concentration, such as human body fluid concentration of 0.9%, frogs of 0.65%, which for maintaining cell osmotic pressure, so that cells maintain a certain shape has an important role, too high or Too low will lead to cell due to water or dehydration to change the cell morphology. There are also a number of buffering systems in the body, which are a group which has a neutralizing effect on the added acid or base so that the pH does not change significantly and therefore plays an important role in maintaining the acid-base balance of the cells.
Ca2 + is the animal bone and teeth (containing CaCO3) composition, and blood coagulation and muscle contraction has a regulatory role, if the content is too low, the animal will appear muscle twitch. K + is a variety of enzyme activator, for the plant starch and protein synthesis and animal nerve impulse conduction and muscle contraction also plays an important role. Fe is a component of hemoglobin and cytochrome, and iron-containing enzymes are indispensable when chlorophyll is formed in plants. Another example is Na + for animal heart beat, nerve excitement is indispensable.
Although inorganic salts in the cell content is relatively small, but there are many important role.
