Biology
Mineral salts are simple inorganic substances made of metallic chemical elements, like iron, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, or of non- metallic elements, like chlorine and phosphorus.
They can be found in non-solubilized form, as part of structures of the organism, like the calcium in bones. They can also be found solubilized in water, as ions: for example, the sodium and potassium cations within cells.
