Answer:  

If the iron rod is placed in the nitrogen then nothing happens. But when the rod of iron is placed in air.

It is also known as iron oxide which takes place when the iron is exposed to moisture and oxygen for a longer period of time.

Oxygen gets attached to iron at an atomic level, forming a compound which is known as an oxide which weakens the metal bond.

Here, this process weakens the iron and corrodes it and makes it unuseful.

-How do you think andioxidants can help cells perform their functions? -Why do plants have more antioxidants than humans? -Do yo
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Antioxidants help cells perform their functions against something called free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that happen to be produced when your body breaks down food and/or when you inhale or are exposed to tobacco products. These molecules play a role in leading to diseases such as; Heart disease and cancer. When plants synthesize, they collect many non-enzymatic Antioxidants like ascorbic acid and phenolic. Since plants have many more sites of ROS generation, Therefore, they could evolve more efficient non-enzymatic Antioxidant systems than humans because of their high intake and exposure to oxygen. (answer yourself about the structure in your own words using the information I gave you). Diet relates to both the function, structure and health of your cells. Having a balanced diet helps your cells to happily work and produce energy for your daily use. A balanced diet supplies your body with nutrients so it can work effectively. Without balanced nutrition, your body is way more prone to disease, fatigue, low performance and infections.

I hope this helped you!
