can someone make a story about calcium? pls help me

Answers

Answer:

um a story about Calcium? sure... Pls mark me brainliest!

Explanation:

Calvin Calcium was strong. Calvin Calcium was sturdy. Calvin Calcium had very good teeth. He

was a happy little boy and drank all of his Phenyl-Free. But one day all that changed. Here’s what

happened…

“I’m not going to drink my ‘milk’ any more,” said Calvin one morning at breakfast.

“Oooh,” said his mother, “then you can get your calcium from green, leafy

vegetables.”

“No,” said Calvin, “I’m not going to eat green, leafy vegetables either.”

“Oooh,” said his mother, “what will happen to Calvin?”

It wasn’t too long before Calvin found out.

In May, it was time for Calvin to have his dental check-up.

“Oooh,” said the dentist, “you have four cavities, Calvin. Have you

been eating foods with lots of sugar? Have you been forgetting to brush your teeth?

Maybe you haven’t been eating enough foods that give you calcium.” The dentist

filled the four cavities, and Calvin’s teeth were fine again. Calvin didn’t mind—too

much.

But in July, Calvin and his friends, Fred and Linda, were

building a tree fort.

They were almost done when, whoops, Calvin lost his balance and

tumbled to the ground!

“My arm hurts!” wailed Calvin.

“Oooh,” said his mother, running from the kitchen, “we’d better go

to the doctor!”

Doctor Smith felt Calvin’s arm very carefully.

“Oooh,” said the doctor, “you have a broken arm, Calvin.”

He put Calvin’s arm in a cast, and Calvin couldn’t go out to play for a long

time. He missed splashing in Fred’s pool to get cooled off on hot days. He

missed Linda’s birthday party. They played lots of neat games and had his

favorite low protein foods. But most of all, he missed playing with his friends.

He could hear them playing ball and roller skating every day.

Calvin went back to the doctor because it was

taking so long for his arm to heal.

“Oooh,” said the doctor, “it looks as if you haven’t been

eating foods with lots of calcium to make your bones strong.”

The Calvin Calcium Story

One morning Calvin said to his mother, “I’d like some of my ‘milk’ for breakfast.”

So that morning Calvin drank his ‘milk’. It tasted very good.

At lunch, Calvin said, “I’d like some green, leafy vegetables, please.”

So that noon, Calvin had green, leafy vegetables. They tasted very good too.

At dinner, Calvin said, “I’d like some green, leafy vegetables AND some ‘milk’, please.”

So Calvin had collard greens and lots of his ‘milk’ for supper. How good they tasted!

Calvin’s arm was almost healed now. Soon he would be able to join his

friends at the pool, on skates, and in their ball games.

When Calvin went to the dentist that fall, he had only one cavity. Calvin said

he had been brushing his teeth after eating AND eating foods that give him

calcium, especially his ‘milk’.

Calvin was again a strong, sturdy, happy boy—with very good teeth and strong bones!

Calcium is nature's most renowned structural material. Indeed, calcium is a necessary component of all living things and is also abundant in many non-living things, particularly those that help support life, such as soil and water. Teeth, sea shells, bones and cave stalactites are all products of calcium.

Interestingly, calcium seems to come in fifth place wherever it goes: It is the fifth most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust (after oxygen, silicon, aluminum and iron); the fifth most abundant dissolved ion in seawater (after sodium, chloride, magnesium and sulfate); and the fifth most abundant element in the human body (after oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen). It is, however, the most abundant metallic element in the human body, 99 percent of which can be found in our bones and teeth (about 2 lbs. of it!), according to Chemicool.

In its pure elemental state, calcium is a soft, silvery-white alkaline earth metal. It is important to note, however, that calcium is never found in this isolated state in nature, but exists instead in compounds. Calcium compounds can be found in a variety of minerals, including limestone (calcium carbonate), gypsum (calcium sulfate) and fluorite (calcium fluoride), according to Chemicool. Calcium makes up about 4.2 percent of the Earth's crust by weight.

In order to isolate pure calcium, it must be extracted through electrolysis, a technique that uses a direct electrical current to separate elements from their naturally occurring sources. Once isolated, calcium is quite reactive and will form a grayish-white oxide and nitride coating when exposed to air.

Calcium (Ca) is No. 20 in the periodic table of the elements, appearing just below magnesium in the same column (Group IIA) as the other alkaline earth metals (a group of metals that are more chemically reactive than most metals). Calcium comes from the Latin word "calx," meaning lime. This is not a reference to the fruit, but rather calcium oxide (CaO), the useful building material derived from heated limestone.

Calcium is extremely important to the human body. Not only is it vital for bones and teeth, but it assists in muscle movement by carrying messages from the brain to all our body parts. Cells in all living things must communicate with, or "signal," one another. Calcium ions act as vital messengers between these cells and are necessary in all multicellular life forms. They also assist in the release of hormones and enzymes.

In food, calcium is found in mineral form. Foods high in calcium include dairy products — such as milk, cheese and yogurt — and some vegetables, such as kale, watercress, spinach and broccoli. In order for calcium to absorb properly, it should be taken with vitamin D. Magnesium is also necessary for proper assimilation and use of calcium in the body. In fact, if we take too much calcium and not enough magnesium, it can cause problems in the body.


Lime, or calcium oxide, produces a brilliant, intense light when exposed to an oxyhydrogen flame, according to Chemicool. In the 1800s, before electricity was invented, this substance was used to light up the theater so actors truly performed "in the limelight" — hence the saying.
When turtles (typically pet turtles) don't have enough calcium circulating through their blood, they may get an ailment called Metabolic Bone Disease, commonly known as Soft Shell Syndrome. For a turtle to be healthy, the calcium to phosphorous ratio should be 2:1. When their calcium levels are low, however, the mineral is leached from their bones in the body's attempt to balance things out. The result is soft bones, weakness and a soft, deformed shell, and it often results in death. The disease can be prevented with a proper diet and adequate sunlight (or other appropriate lighting for reptiles).
Stalactites and stalagmites, the icicle-shaped formations found in underground caverns, are formed slowly over time by the build-up of calcite residue. This occurs when water seeps through the cracks in the ceiling of a limestone cave, dissolving and carrying along traces of calcite, the building material of limestone. As the water drips from the ceiling, this calcite residue begins to build up at the site of the drip, eventually resulting in icicle-shaped stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling. This water dripping from the stalactites then forms stalagmites on the ground

describe how the greenhouse effect interacts with the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and cryosphere

Answers

            loook over ur notes promise youll find thrm

Hydrosphere

Human contributions to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are warming the earth's surface - a process which is projected to increase evaporation of surface water and accelerate the hydrologic cycle. In turn, a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor.

Atmosphere

This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live.

Cryosphere

By reflecting sunlight, ice and snow have a cooling effect on the climate. Removing the ice to leave darker land or ocean reduces this cooling and so amplifies climate change. Thawing permafrost releases significant amounts of greenhouse gases, causing further warming.

The amoeba excretes waste through _________ while a sparrow excretes waste through __________.

Answers

Answer:

The amoeba excretes waste through Contractile Vacuole while a sparrow excretes waste through Cloaca.

Explanation:

In some unicellular eukaryotic organisms (e.g., amoeba), cellular wastes, such as ammonia and excess water, are excreted by exocytosis as the contractile vacuoles merge with the cell membrane, expelling wastes into the environment.

Birds, unlike mammals, do not have separate exits for urine and feces. Both waste products are eliminated simultaneously through the cloaca. While mammals excrete nitrogenous wastes mostly in the form of urea, birds convert it to uric acid or guanine, which reduces water loss in comparison.

What does it mean when two objects are said to exert a mutual force of attraction?
A. Each takes turns attracting the other. B. They attract each other at the same time.
C. A third object takes turns attracting each of them.
D. A third object attracts them both at the same time.​

Answers

Answer:

B

It says "mutual", so both objects are attracting at the same time. In addition, I do not believe it is possible for objects to take turn acttracting each other so I believe A is false. I think C and D are wrong because a third object is not related to any of these choices. It also explicitly states "two objects" and when it says mutual, it means they are attracting each other.
