1. Proteins are made up partly of Nitrogen. Without Proteins, your cells will lack enough nourishment to repair itself or to build new tissues.
2. Nitric Oxide is made up of Nitrogen. Without Nitric Oxide, your cells will have difficulty communicating with each other. 
3. Urea is made up of Nitrogen. Without Urea, you cannot remove damaged and used proteins from your body - and this causes the formation of toxins. 
4. Enzymes are partly made up of Nitrogen. Without Enzymes, simple acts, such as food metabolism, would take 200 years to complete. 
5. Plants require Nitrogen. When plants don't have nitrogen, they fail and this disrupts the food chain.

Son músculos antagonistas (unos realizan flexión y otros extensión) los siguientes: * 5 puntos Trapecio- deltoides Bíceps- tríce

Lena [83]

Answer:

Bíceps- tríceps

Explanation:

Los músculos trabajan para generar movimiento mediante la contracción de células musculares. El bíceps y el tríceps son músculos antagonistas presentes en el brazo. Cuando el brazo se acorta, el bíceps funciona como agonista (es decir, se contrae) y hace que los tendones que tiran de los huesos del antebrazo puedan doblarlo. Durante este movimento, el triceps funciona como antagonista, encontrándose en estado de relajamiento. Por otra parte, durante el estiramiento del brazo, las funciones de estos músculos se invierten, con lo cual el tríceps (agonista) se contrae y el bíceps (antagonista) se relaja.
