Answer to #1

Trace minerals tend to act as cofactors and prosthetic groups and provide scaffolding for many of the hard tissues in your body.
 Some trace minerals are cofactors of metalloenzymes. (Binding of the mineral cofactor to the enzyme activates it, allowing it to bind to its substrate and carry out its function.)
 Other trace minerals are components of larger nonenzymatic prosthetic groups (nonprotein components of proteins). Hemoglobin is an example.
 Some trace minerals provide structure to mineralized tissues. Fluoride, which provides strength to bones and teeth, is an example.
