Respond to the following article: http://www.healthchecksystems.com/antioxid.htm
what am i looking for: Intro: what are free radicals and how are they formed, what is an antioxidant
secondly what are some effects of free radicals on the body. Furthermore what is the purpose of an antioxidant and how do they attact free radicals. Why is this article relevant to what we are studying at this moment: elements and compounds and why is your health important.
I will be looking for responses to this article to be detailed and specific. Use the article as a reference but fill free to look for other relevant sources of documentation. If you choose to use other documentation please site where the information comes from (If you plagerize and do not give credit you will receive a zero). I have my ways of checking. This is a Summative Grade which will count. Make it a good one.

Free Radicals are basically unstable molecules. They are formed when weak bonds split or when molecules loses an electron. Antioxidants is a molecule that helps stop the instability of free radicals. Antioxidants stabilize free radicals by giving their electrons away, which ends the electron reaction. The purpose of an antioxidant is to prevent the human body from cell and tissue damage that could possibly lead to disease. Free radicals can be very harmful to the body. It can cause cancer and cardiovascular disease, and even cancer to the mouth.
This article is relevant to our studies because it talked about gaining and losing electrons. That also refers back to Bohr's model and valence numbers. This article Is important to our health because it let's us know the harm for not eating the right typed of food. It informs us on how vitamin C and E helps us fight off harmful diseases.
Free Radicals are molecules capable of multiplying rapidly and harming the immune system. Its very harming to the human body.Free radicals are atoms that have odd amonuts of electrons in a outer ring. Therefore it tries to attach itself to another atomto keep its balance.When weak bond split thats when free radicals are formed.Vitamin E and C protect the body against destructive effects of free radicals.
ReplyDeleteThis relates to what we are learning about bonding strutures because they are losing and gaining electrons.Free radicals give away electrons.It can lead to a disease in the human body so its very important to our health.So we eat the right vitamins to stay healthy and not get sick
Free radicals are molecules capable of multiplying rapidly and harming the immune system and other parts of the human body.free Radicals are formed when weak bonds spilt. Free Radicals are very unstable and react quickly with other compounds trying to caprure the needed electron inorder to gain stability.
ReplyDeleteAntioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body.There are many types of antioxidants such as Vitamin A and Carotenoids,Vitamin C,Vitamin E, and Selenium.(www.healthcastle.com)
Free radicals can be very harmful to the body. free radicals can damnage your DNA cells causing them to malfunction or reproduce abnormally. free radicals can also cause LDL cholesterol in the blood to stick to the walls of the blood vessels, resulting in atherosclerosis, a leading cause of heart disease. Free Radicals can cause cancer and also eye problems.(www.associatedcontent.com)
Antioxidants helps to prevent free radical damnage.Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, ending the electron"stealing" reaction. By doing this antioxidants does not become free redicals because they are stable enough. This article is relevent to what we are studying because it shows how uneven bonds can damnage the human body and also have it effects onther bonds. this is important to our health because some people dont believe vitamin E and C are important 2 the human body and they dont eat enough foods with these types of vitamins to help protect their body from free radicals.
Free radicals are harmful molecules, formed when weak bonds split, that attack the nearest stable molecule and swipe its electron. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by giving away an electron to end the reaction, and since antioxidants are stable, they act as scavengers that help prevent cell and tissue damage that could become disease. Vitamin E is one of the most efficient chain-breaking antioxidants available and might possibly protect against cardiovascular disease. Vitamin C is the most water-soluble antioxidant in the body and helps Vitamin E return to its active form. High Vitamin C intakes have been linked to low cancer rates, particularlly that of mouth cancers.
ReplyDeleteThis article is relevent because we are learning about losing and gaining electrons with the Lewis Dot Structures. Our health is important because to prevent these free radicals we need to eat the right amount of nutrients everyday so as to not get sick and to protect our bodies.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that form when weak bonds split. They are capable of multiplying rapidly and harming the body's immune System. Antioxidants are dietary substances including some nutrients such as beta carotene, vitamins C and E and selenium, that can prevent damage to your body cells or repair damage that has been done.

ReplyDeleteFurthermore, free radicals attack stable molecules, basically steal from them so that they become stable. Once this action happens that molecule too becomes a radical. This process is like a chain reaction and can result in the death of a living cell. This article relates to us because be are learning about how things bond with the lewis dot structures and how Atoms loose and gain electrons. This is important to our health because it shows us how not eating the correct amount of nutrients everyday will slowly hurt your body. You need to prevent these free radicals to protect your bodies.
