Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Magnesium is an essential cofactor in over 300 metabolic reactions in the body, including all aspects of energy metabolism such as glycolysis, beta-oxidation, and the TCA cycle. It is required for the binding and hydrolysis of ATP, which is essential for energy production in cells. Calcium is involved in muscle contraction, iron is involved in oxygen transport, and sulfur is involved in protein structure but none of these minerals are directly involved in energy metabolism.
