Best answer

Answer: 2. The daily requirement of Mg and Ca in the human body is estimated to be 0.2 - 0.3 g.

Key idea: Recall the biological roles of Mg and Ca (NCERT).

  • Option 1 is wrong: neuromuscular function and interneuronal transmission are mainly roles of Ca (and Na/K), whereas Mg works with enzymes using ATP.
  • Option 2 is correct: the daily requirement of Mg and Ca is about 200-300 mg (0.2-0.3 g).
  • Option 3 is wrong: such enzymes need Mg, not Ca, as the cofactor.
  • Option 4 is wrong: bone is a living tissue, continually remodelled.
