Answer the following questions true (T) or false (F)

1. Symptoms of hyperphosphatemia may include muscle cramps and spasms and numbness or tingling in the feet and hands; while symptoms of hypophosphatemia include: muscle weakness, bone pain, rickets in children, confusion, and, at the extreme, death. 2. Minerals play roles in fluid and electrolyte balance, form blood cells (iron and copper), build healthy bones (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and fluoride), and maintain a healthy immune system (zinc). Minerals can also be part of enzyme complexes, participate in energy metabolism, and play a role in structural growth. 3. A balance of electrolytes is essential for transmission of nerve impulses and contraction of muscles; conversely an electrolyte imbalance can lead to confusion, seizures, muscle spasms, and convulsions.
