Minerals can a. provide energy to the body. b. become part of the body's structural systems. c. be degraded by the body. d. be destroyed during the cooking process.

B - Become part of the body's structural systems

Explanation:

Minerals can become chemical constituents of vitamins sometimes. Minerals can also be located in hormones, muscles, bones, and enzymes

As part of human struture, minerals can become part of the body's structure.

It has been proven that there are about sixty (60) different minerals that constitutes about four percent (4%) of the body.

b. become part of the body's structural systems.

Explanation:

Minerals are the inorganic regulators needed for different functions inside the body. Minerals donot provide energy but involved in generation of energ through their metabolic function. (Hence option A is excluded) They provide a good medium for the protoplasmic activities (permeability of cell membrane and normal functioning of cell) Maintaining bod fluid balance. For structural units. Cannot be degraded in the body neither can be destroyed while cooking (Hence option c and d are excluded) They become the part of the body's strctral systems (Hence option B is the right answer)
