The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
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. |
Kinetic energy is the energy posessed by a moving object. Potential energy is stored energy in a stationary object based on its location, position, shape, or state.
Rising into the atmosphere, the water condenses into clouds. When the clouds become too saturated with water, the water is released as snow or ice precipitation which may warm as it falls to reach Earth as rain.
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
