Nails are made of iron because, iron is strong and sturdy; although nail rust when it undergoes oxidation when expose to water but it is not explosive. 
Barium and phosphorus are not suitable for nail making because of their properties.
Barium is an element which reacts with virtually all non metals, forming poisonous products which are dangerous to health and to the environment. It also reacts explosively with water.
Phosphorus is not found in its pure form in nature, it conducts electricity and it is combustible in nature.<span />

6−2(4+5)+6<br><br><br>what are the steps to getting the amswer -6
gregori [183]

6-2(4+5)+6

First, you go off of PEMDAS, (parentheses, exponients, mutiply, divide, add, subract), and you will mutiply -2 to the numbers in the parentheses, -2x4 and -2x5. Which will then give you -8 and -10.

Then you set up your equation as normal, except without parentheses, which will make the equation 6-8+-10+6.

Then you will combine the two negative numbers, and it'll give you -18.

Then you will combine both the positive numbers, and that'll give you 12.

Add 12 to -18 and that will give you -6.

Does glycolysis occur inside or outside the mitochondria
icang [17]

Answer: Glycolysis occurs outside the mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the cell.


Glycolysis is a metabolic process in which glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate ( 3 carbon containing molecule) and produces energy molecules as 2 ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) and 2 NADH molecules. Glucose is one of the most important energy fuel that is utilized by living organisms.


Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of all living cells. Thus, it occurs outside the mitochondria.
