    The document provides information on various minerals and their uses in different categories: [1] Nitrogen and magnesium are important minerals for agriculture as nitrogen is essential for plant growth and chlorophyll production, while magnesium is central to the chlorophyll molecule. [2] Marble, limestone, and sand are construction minerals commonly used in buildings, sculptures, cement production, and as a household construction material. [3] Lithium, calcium, and zinc are minerals important for medicine - lithium is used in batteries and industry, calcium for bones/teeth, and zinc is needed for immune system function. The second question is about why dolomite was used in Manila Bay rehabilitation.

    DUE: DEC. 6,2022

    CATEGORY MINERALS USE OR FUNCTION

    Nitrogen is critical to plant growth and


    NITROGEN reproduction and it so vital because it is a
    major component of chlorophyll, the
    compound by which plants use sunlight
    energy to produce sugars from water and
    carbon dioxide. And nitrogen also make sure
    that plants are healthy as they develop and
    nutritious to eat after they’re harvested.
    AGRICULTURE Magnesium is the central core of
    MAGNESIUM chlorophyll molecule in plant tissue.
    Magnesium is one of the most important
    plant nutrients. And magnesium is one of
    the most important plant nutrients. And
    central importance in essential for the
    development of leaf green.

    MARBLE Marble are usually used in buildings and


    sculptures, construction aggregate,
    cemetery marker, and it also used as
    dimension stone for statuary,
    architectural and ornamental purposes.
    CONSTRUCTION LIMESTONE It is used mainly in the manufacture of
    Portland cement, the production of lime,
    manufacture of paper, petrochemicals,
    insecticides, linoleum, fiberglass, glass,
    carpet backing and as the coating on
    many types of chewing gum.
    SAND Sand is tiny particles and important
    material used for house construction.
    Sand has been used as a construction
    material for centuries due to its

    HOUSEHOLD LITHIUM
    numerous benefits.
    Lithium is used in the batteries of electric
    vehicles. However, lithium is also used in
    batteries of laptops and cell phones, as
    well as in the glass and ceramics industry.
    CALCIUM Calcium most often associated with
    healthy bones and teeth, although it also
    plays an important role in blood clotting,
    helping muscles to contract, and
    MEDICINE regulating normal heart rhythms and
    nerve functions.
    ZINC Zinc is found in cells throughout the body.
    It is needed for the body’s
    defensive(immune) system to properly
    work.

    2. why was dolomite used in the rehabilitation of manila bay?

    The DENR chief, who has repeatedly defended the use of dolomite sand against critics, said the
    dolomite sand actually “cleans the water” of the Manila Bay, prevents erosion, and increases
    the width of the beach. “Dolomite contains high amount of heavy metals such as aluminum,
    lead and mercury, which would contribute to the pollution and acidity of Manila Bay”. And It
    aims to restore the water quality of Manila Bay in accordance with the Writ of Continuing
    Mandamus of the Supreme Court.
