Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of minerals in the human body. Minerals are inorganic elements that are essential for various physiological functions.

Recognize that minerals do not provide energy for cellular processes. Energy is primarily derived from macronutrients like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Identify that minerals do not act as neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers, typically derived from amino acids or other organic compounds.

Acknowledge that minerals are not directly involved in synthesizing DNA. DNA synthesis requires nucleotides and enzymes, not minerals.

Learn that minerals are crucial for regulating enzyme activity. Many enzymes require mineral cofactors to function properly, making this the correct answer.
