Rewrite cited evidence in 5th graders response

The importance of an element in the body is not solely related to its percentage of body weight. The evidence in the table supports this explanation. For example, even though iron has a very low percentage of body weight (0.006), it plays a crucial role in carrying oxygen in the blood, which is essential for human survival. On the other hand, elements like magnesium and phosphorus have higher
percentages of body weight (0.05 and 1.0, respectively) but are equally important for bone formation, muscle function, and teeth structure.

The amount of an element in your body doesn't always tell how important it is. The table shows iron is only 0.006% of our body, but it helps carry oxygen in your blood so you can live. Magnesium (0.05%) and phosphorus (1.0%) are bigger parts of your body, and they help build bones, keep muscles working, and make teeth strong. So even tiny amounts of an element can be really important.
