hello
for the question 'state 3 ways that AAS has had a great impact on scientific understanding of tracelements in organisms' .. how would you answer it in a detailed way .. i'm also having trouble coming up with answers ??
so far I can only really think of
1. the essentiality of trace elements as they aid enzyme function - their requirement for the proper functioning of organisms in biological systems (i.e. iron in haemoglobin, magnesium, calcium, zinc in our systems)
2. criticality of trace element deficiencies in organisms - in humans, lack of micronutrients in plants, lack of cobalt on pasteur land, so animal health could not be maintained ..
3.

??
could it possibly that the discovery of trace elements itself be considered an 'impact'??
in what other ways could you answer this question ?
thanks
