Biological importance of magnesium and calcium

Magnesium is the co-factor of all enzymes that utilize ATP in phosphate
transfer and energy release.

Chlorophyll, the main pigment for the absorption of light in plants
contains magnesium and helps in photosynthesis.

Deficiency of magnesium results into convulsion and neuromuscular
irritation.

Calcium is present in bones and teeth.

It plays important role in neuromuscular function, interneuronal
transmission and cell membrane integrity.

It is important for blood coagulation.

Its deficiency causes diseases like rickets, osteoporosis and
osteomalacia.
