Which one of the following statements is correct?

Which one of the following statements is correct?
A Mg plays roles in neuromuscular function and interneuronal transmission.
B The daily requirement of Mg and Ca in the human body is estimated to be 0.2 – 0.3 g.
C All enzymes that utilise ATP in phosphate transfer require Ca as the cofactor.
D The bone in human body is an inert and unchanging substance.

Explanation

The daily requirement of Mg and Ca is about 200–300 mg.

Detailed Solution

Ca plays important role in neuromuscular function and interneuronal transmission. The daily requirement of Mg and Ca in the human body is estimated to be 200–300 mg. All enzymes that utilise ATP in phosphate transfer require Mg as the cofactor. The bone in human body is NOT an inert and unchanging substance.
