If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
Vitamin / Mineral | Sources | Health Benefits |
---|---|---|
Calcium | Dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese), spinach. | Aids bone growth and repair, muscle function. |
Iron | Red meat, beans, whole grains. | Allows red blood cells to transfer oxygen to body tissues. |
Magnesium | Nuts, whole grains, green leafy vegetables. | Muscle, nerve, and enzyme function. |
Potassium | Bananas, nuts, seeds. | Helps balance fluid levels in the body. |
Vitamin A | Liver, milk, eggs, carrots. | Vision, immune system, cell growth. |
Vitamin C | Green and red peppers, citrus fruits, broccoli. | Collagen formation, immune system function, antioxidant (helps protect cells from damage). |
Vitamin D | Exposure to sunlight. | Helps calcium strengthen bones, muscle, nerve, and immune system function. |
Mass is the amount of matter something has while weight is the force exerted on an object's mass by gravity. So, although a person's mass doesn't change when going from the Earth to the Moon, their weight will decrease because the force of the Moon's gravity is much less than that of Earth.
When two air masses meet and neither is displaced, a stationary front is created. Stationary fronts often cause persistent cloudy wet weather.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
