What's the difference between inorganic and mineralization?

Inorganic


Definition:

  • (a.) Not organic; without the organs necessary for life; devoid of an organized structure; unorganized; lifeness; inanimate; as, all chemical compounds are inorganic substances.

  • (10) It was revealed that the TTH level could change both in the direction of decrease and of elevation; the inorganic phase of the iodine metabolism was reduced and the organic one--elevated.

  • (18) We assayed inorganic sulfate by ion chromatography in 49 amniotic fluid samples from pregnancies of 14 to 38 weeks gestation.
  • (19) strain 4CB1, 4-chlorobenzoate did not accumulate but was converted to inorganic chloride.
  • (20) The sulfhydryl enzyme malate synthase was inactivated by X-irradiation in air-saturated aqueous solution, in the absence or presence of a variety of additives (thiols, antioxienzymes, typical radical scavengers, inorganic salts, buffer components, substrates, products, analogues).

Mineralization


Definition:

  • (n.) The process of mineralizing, or forming a mineral by combination of a metal with another element; also, the process of converting into a mineral, as a bone or a plant.
  • (n.) The act of impregnating with a mineral, as water.
  • (n.) The conversion of a cell wall into a material of a stony nature.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It is suggested that the Japanese may have lower trabecular bone mineral density than Caucasians but may also have a lower threshold for fracture of the vertebrae.
  • (2) The absorption of ingested Pb is modified by its chemical and physical form, by interaction with dietary minerals and lipids and by the nutritional status of the individual.

  • (5) From these results, it was suggested that the inhibitory effect of Cd on in vitro calcification of MC3T3-E1 cells may be due to both a depression of cell-mediated calcification and a decrease in physiochemical mineral deposition.
  • (6) The effect of dietary fibre digestion in the human gut on its ability to alter bowel habit and impair mineral absorption has been investigated using the technique of metablic balance.
  • (7) The greatest advantages of spinal QCT for noninvasive bone mineral measurement lie in the high precision of the technique, the high sensitivity of the vertebral trabecular measurement site, and the potential for widespread application.
  • (8) The model has been used to evaluate mineral changes from the use of fluoride dentifrices and rinses, chewing gum, and food sequencing.
  • (9) These data indicate improved bone mineralization as compared with previously reported data from very-low-birth-weight neonates.
