What are mineral components,What is its functions in our body?

Minerals are natural occuring substances and can be made of one element or more elements combined together in chemical compounds.

In living tissues and foods, minerals are present in varying amounts.

Elements that are present  in high concentration greater than 70 mg/kg live weight are termed as major minerals.

Micro minerals are trace minerals that are present in low concentration lesser than 70 mg/kg live weight.

physiologically they are equally important.

FUNCTION OF MINERALS:

calcium and phosphorus: main structural components of bones and teeth,role are to give rigidity and strength.

 magnesium,fluorine,silicon: in bones and teeth also contribute to the mechanical stability of the body.

Small fractions of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus and most of the sodium, potassium and chloride in the body fluid and in the soft tissues acts as electrolytes.

Electrolytes in body fluids like blood and cerebrospinal fluid helps to:

• maintain acid – base balance and osmotic pressure.
• regulate permeability.
• excitability of muscles and nerves.
• Salts in the saliva, gastric and intestinal juices a are appropriate medium for the action of enzyme and growth of microbes.
• Trace elements are also components of biologically important compounds as:

1. Iron in haemoglobin
2. Cobalt in vitamin B12
3. Iodine in the hormone thyroxine

• Trace elements as activators of enzymes.

mode and site of absorption of minerals:

1. Minerals are mainly absorbed as ions.
2. The major site for absorption:

• Small intestine and anterior part of the large intestine
• Large amounts of minerals in the digestive tract from digestive juices are reabsorbed together.

Mode of excretion:

• excrete Ca and P mainly in the urine.

deficiencies of minerals on living organism:

Ingestion of diets that are deficient, imbalanced or high in minerals content induces certain changes in body. 

1. physiological change:
   Retarded growth
2. Decreased food utilization and productivity
3. Disturbances in general health.
4. excess of minerals ions in the digestive tract may lead to precipitation of inorganic mineral and decreased availability of  mineral to body.
   

gene vs nutrition an ununderstandable battle

   A gene is the biological unit of heredity. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins gene is has unit of segments that contains information which contribute to certain characters of body (like height,shape,color) gene contains necessary information for living,to survive,and to reproduce.when a gene express the encoded information in gene is used to synthesis protein.

 Nutrition is nourishment or energy that is obtained from food consumed. An example of nutrition is the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables.


GENE VS NUTRITION

Genes are the units of heredity and nutrition is the source of energy.GENE ↭NUTRITION can you co-relate these two term?common terminology used when we talk about gene is heredity,heredity is the passing of traits(any characters) from parents to their offspring, through sexual reproduction, the offspring of next generation acquire the genetic information of their parents. gene work as instructor, that has some information used to make up the body's structure.

gene makes up our body configuration,it is partial correct.information inside gene can not express until it is provided by some extra source which is nutrition it maybe in the form of heat or any other form.every gene gain some nutritional source from the body during their processing stage,let us take a example,

suppose a gene is expressing in the body and that gene has a main role in muscle formation(myostatin gene),now this gene has all required information about muscle,now gene expressed and certain gene products are formed at the end, these product work mainly as map or flowchart because they do not have any nutritional source,like when we ask Cooley to drop our luggage at our residence,for work they demand money,like this for building the different body muscles(heart muscle,skeleton muscle,smooth muscle etc)they should contain some energy source.so how does this information comes into existence?have you ever think about it? Yes or NO? what is the mysterious force that working behind the gene?NUTRITION! REALLY? YES !
   you heard it right,nutrition is key force that really work hard to get this encoded information comes out into existence! let's continue with our muscle example,so gene encoded information about muscle,protein start designing→ shape of muscle,size of muscle,so from where does the protein come, cytoplasm of cell.amino acid present in the cytoplasm,amino acid is the basic unit of protein. during digestion the food we eat are digested by enzymes into simpler form,and these smaller form are absorb by our body cell.so it means if body nutrition level is deprived gene can not express itself properly and our body show dis formalities(mutation concept is not included) .gene need some extra to express itself so why to consider gene as only unit of determining body structure?

haemoglobin/A loose connective tissue

          HAEMOGLOBIN(A LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE)

haemoglobin is the iron containing protein present in red blood cell of all living organism(especially in vertebrates).haemoglobin is red colored pigment which is due to heme(a component of hemoglobin structure)
haemoglobin is made up of two subunits( HEME+GLOBIN). Heme is iron containing pigment part and Globin is protein part of HEMOGLOBIN molecule.
the main function of haemoglobin is to  carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.It also functions as a buffer in the regulation of acid base balance.
A haemoglobin is a  complex substance consisting of  protein and pigment part heme and a protein, globin.The protein portion of each of these chains is called globulin. The globin parts has two chains parts a and b globin chains and they are very similar in structure. The globulin is a conjugated protein and heme contains iron in ferrous state.Haemoglobin contains four polypeptide chains namely two alpha and two beta chains. Each of the four chains unites with a heme group resulting in a haemoglobin molecule. 

SYNTHESIS OF HAEMOGLOBIN MOLECULE:

Haemoglobin (Hb) is synthesized by many series of steps.
 globulin protein parts are synthesized by ribosomes(present in cell cytoplasmor a cell organelle) and the heme part is synthesized in the mitochondria of cell.

FORMATION:

formation of Hb(inside RBC) continues in the cell throughout its early development from the erythroblast,pro-erythroblast to the reticulocyte in the stem cell(continue dividing cell).the site of production of RBC is vary from stage to stage of life like in embryo stage bone marrow,liver is the main site of haemoglobin synthesis then after birth long bones took their duty. in reticulocyte stage, the nucleus is lost in mammalian red blood cells(, but not in birds and many other species. the main purpose of nucleus disintegration is too increase the amount of oxygen carry capacity of RBC, that is why RBC called as enucleated cell(loss of nucleus during it's development)

FACTOR AFFECTING HEMOGLOBIN SYNTHESIS:

The amount of Hb in the blood is influenced by: 

1. Age:Haemoglobin content in young one is high,because of requirement of high nutrition and oxygen to actively dividing cell of body to maintain growth and production, then old one.
   
2.   muscular activity: increase in muscle tension increase oxygen and nutrition uptake, for the good amount of supply, body form high amount of RBC .
   
3.  season: season affect RBC synthesis in term of heat exchange,in cold weather body loose their heat more than hot weather.
   
4. altitude: in high altitude oxygen level is low,to maintain body oxygen level RBC content is increased by multiple fold.
   
5. trauma: any trauma or injury to body lead to loss of blood from body and RBC content of body decline.
   
6. Erythropoietin Hormone: stimulate RBC production by stimulating stem cell of body(bone marow cell)
   
   
   

Types of  hemoglobin :

Based on physiology, the hemoglobins are 2 type, adult hemoglobin and fetal hemoglobin.the Hb are also classified as HbA, HbB, HbC and HbF. Human beings show three types of Hb, HbA (98%), HbA₂ (2%) in the adult and HbF in fetus and new born. HbF has higher affinity for O₂. In human and animal fetal hemoglobin (HbF) is replaced by the adult types with in 4 to 8 weeks after birth. 
 HbS is responsible for sickle-cell anaemia in some race. HbC and HbE cause failure of synthesis of alpha or beta chains thus results in alpha or beta thalassemia.

DERIVATIVE OF HEMOGLOBIN:

• Oxyhemoglobin:

hemoglobin has an important relationship with oxygen. Oxygen forms reversible combination with hemoglobin called oxy-Hb, when RBC passing through lungs, since there are four ferrous atoms in the hemoglobin molecule,and four molecules of oxygen are transported by a molecule of hemoglobin.As blood is transported through the systemic circulation hemoglobin loses its oxygen to the tissues.The oxygen carrying capacity of the hemoglobin is dependent on the pigment it contains which in turn depends on the iron content for oxygen combining capacity.

• Myoglobin:

It is a true hemoglobin and functions to store oxygen in the muscle. It contains only one heme and a polypeptide chain. It contains only one iron atom and can therefore store only one molecule of O_2.

• Carboxyhemoglobin

Hb has 200 times more affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen.

• Methemoglobin 

It is formed by the oxidation of ferrous iron to ferric iron. During the circulation of blood methemoglobin is formed by the oxidation of ferrous iron to ferric iron. Ferrihemoglobin cannot combine with oxygen, hence is useless as a respiratory pigment in the blood. It produces dark colored blood.

protein a major bio molecule for body

                                    PROTEIN IS ESSENTIAL💫

protein is essential  bio molecule present in body.Protein is considered as major body building molecule of life.Protein is made up of different amino acid that are attached to one another by peptide linkage in form of long chain. protein is most abundant kind of bio molecule,main structural and functional molecule in living organism. protein can be found in all cells of body especially muscle cells.Hair and Nails are mostly made up of protein.
Body use protein as a source to build up cells or tissues and repairs in case of any injury to cell.


FUNCTIONS OF PROTEIN MOLECULE:

1.  enzymes involved in the biochemical reactions in the body are protein in nature.
2. Many hormones are proteins in nature. 
3. With DNA molecules, where it controls the gene transcription and translation.
4. Proteins are involved in the transport processes. Example: Hemoglobin in RBC involved in the transport of oxygen. 
5. Immunological effects :Proteins have protective role in the body. example: Immunoglobulins are proteins that protect living organism against bacterial and viral infections.
6. Structural proteins like collagen and elastin provide structural strength and elasticity to organs.
7. Some proteins are used as nutrients example: casein of milk are used as nutrients.
8. Proteins are involved in the maintenance of osmotic pressure of plasma.
9. Some proteins like actin and myosin are involved in the contraction of skeletal muscles.

CLASSIFICATION OF PROTEINS:
protein can be classified on basis of solubility and physical properties:

• simple protein:simple protein on hydrolysis form amino aciod as end product.

they are still divided into:

• Albumins: These proteins are soluble in water coagulated by heat

1. Globulins: These proteins are insoluble in pure water, but soluble in dilute salt solutions. .

• conjugated protein:these are simple protein which attaches with non protein part example prosthetic group
• NUCLEOPROTEIN: simple protein in association with DNA and RNA.example: chromosome
• GLYCOPROTEIN: simple protein in association with glucose.example: mucin
• LIPOPROTEIN: simple protein in association with lipids.example: cholestrol
• PHOSPHOPROTEIN: simple protein in association with phosphorus.example: caesin

• derived protein:these are the protein formed from simple and conjugated protein by some external energy.

protein on basis of shape:

• fibrous protein: protein in which polypeptide chain coiled or extended to form linear fiber. fibrous protein mechanical strength to body.example: collagen, keratin etc
• globular protein: protein in which polypeptide chain coiled itself in 3-dimensional structural.example :enzymes

SOURCES OF PROTEIN:

• Egg: egg among most nutritious food well known,having good proportion of vitamin, minerals and certain antioxidant.
  

whole egg part are high in protein ,but egg white are almost pure protein.

• Almonds:
  
  almonds has high fibre content, vitamin E.
• Oats:
  
  oats are healthiest grain, they loaded with high fibre,vitamin B1 and several other nutrient.
• Milk
  
  : milk is highly nutritious and excellent source of high quality protein.milk include almost all nutrient needed by human body.
• Peas:
  
  high in fibre and low in fat. they are rich source of vegetable protein.
