"These" should be referring to Alkali Metals.

They include metals such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium etc.
They're classified as Group I elements because they all have one outmost shell electrons. This is why these metals are so reactive because they only need to lose one electron in order to achieve the octet of electrons (or duplet for Lithium), which means complete outmost shell electrons (2 or the 1st shell, others are 8). 

The reason why they're especially reactive to Halogens (Group VII) elements are that Halogens have 7 outmost shell electrons, which only needs one more electron in order to get to the octet of electrons. So, if an Alkali metal reacts with a Halogen, the metal would give one of their electrons to the Halogen, that way, both of the elements can have an octet of electrons (or duplet).

Why do we have so much dna?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Of the trillions of cells that compose our body, from neurons that relay signals throughout the brain to immune cells that help defend our bodies from constant external assault, almost every one contains the same 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome – the entirety of our genetic material. It is remarkable that each of the over 200 cell types in the body interprets this identical information very differently in order to perform the functions necessary to keep us alive. This demonstrates that we need to look beyond the sequence of DNA itself in order to understand how an organism and its cells function.

<span>The 4 categories of macromolecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates (grains and vegetables) are the largest group at the base of the pyramid, proteins (milk, poultry, eggs, nuts) follow up the pyramid while lipids (fats and oils) are the least amount at the summit of the pyramid. </span>

 

<span>
</span><span>The aim of the pyramid is to recommend ideal  rations for a healthy diet. Carbohydrates provide most of the energy needs for the days’ activities hence taking the largest portion. Proteins are used in building muscles, f0r nutrition, and body’s immunity hence required in lesser amounts compared to carbohydrates. Lipids help the body store energy since they have thrice as much energy as carbohydrates.They also a constituent of cell membranes and also help deliver vitamins. They are required in the least amount to avoid obesity and related illnesses such as cardiovascular <span>diseases</span></span>
