Pls answer The human body needs minerals to survive. Without
minerals, the body could not function properly. The minerals
that make up rocks are the same minerals that someone
might eat in a bowl of cereal! The body needs about 80
different types of minerals to function properly. Iron enriches
the blood, salt maintains fluid balance, calcium fortifies the
bones, and fluorine strengthens the teeth. Most vital
minerals can be absorbed into the body from eating plants
and lean meats. However, many food manufacturers add
minerals to their products to make them more desirable to
consumers. Eating a balanced diet can ensure that the
proper amount of these essential minerals is ingested.

Question:

The passage tells us that "many food manufacturers add minerals to their products to make them more desirable to consumers." Do you think that this is a good idea? What are the pros and cons?

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.
