Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding free radicals? Many diseases, such as cancer and heart disease, are linked
defon

Answer:

The false statement is-Our body has no mechanism to stabilize free radicals.

Explanation:

Free radicals are the atoms produced in the cell mainly due to oxidative stress. For example, oxygen splits into an atom having an unpaired electron. So these atoms having unpaired electrons are called free radicals.

Free radicals are responsible for damaging DNA and causing cancers in the body. In our cells antioxidants are present which checks the presence of free radicals in the cell.  

They stop the free radicals chain reaction and eliminate the free radicals in the cell by giving an electron to free radicals without getting destabilized. Therefore our bodies have a mechanism to fight with free radicals.

Describe what happens when a muscle contracts
madam [21]
During contraction, the filaments slide past he thick filaments, shortening the sarcomere. The thick and thin filaments do the actual work of a muscle, and the way they do this is pretty cool. Thick filaments are made of a protein called myosin. At the molecular level, a thick filament is a shaft of myosin molecules arranged in a cylinder. Thin filaments are made of another protein called actin. The thin filaments look like two strands of pearls twisted around each other.

You will produce a 200 word essay on the ethical argument of eating meat or eating a plant based diet. URGENT PLEASE!!!
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Humans should really eat meat because our body are meant for the meat and it can’t cause cancer and many other health problems. All of the myths on meat are actually people blaming something. Meat are proven to be very nutritious and we are actually evolved to eat meat. It is not just the benefits that people will get from the meat but also get the taste. Thus there is no evidence that suggest a non meat diet will give more health benefits than a normal diet.though being a vegetarian is healthier .So humans should eat meat.
