Mikroeelemendid
Mikroeelemendid, also known as trace elements, are chemical elements that are present in living organisms in very small quantities, typically less than 0.01% of an organism's body mass. Despite their low concentrations, these elements are crucial for a wide range of biological functions, including enzyme activity, hormone production, and cellular processes. They often play vital roles as cofactors in enzymatic reactions, assisting in the transfer of electrons or atoms, which are essential for metabolism.
The specific microeelemendid required varies between different species, but common examples in humans include iron, zinc,
Sources of microeelemendid for organisms include food, water, and sometimes the environment. The bioavailability of these
