Does the human body store large amounts of nitrogen or routinely oxidize nucleic acids?
AnthonyGaita
The human body stores 2.6 to 3 percent of nitrogen. The human body does routinely oxidize nucleic acids, however, the amounts of nitrogen remain within the same percentage.

Does nitrous oxide burn?
Nitrous oxide is, in a manner of speaking, already burnt. Generally the term "burn" means to oxidize (combine with oxygen) by combustion. Under normal conditions, the gas isn't flammable. Nor is pure nitrogen. Nitrogen doesn't oxidize easily in any case, which is why our atmosphere is almost 80% free nitrogen.
Does nitrogen oxidize?
Yes - but it usually takes high temperatures to get it to happen - like you get in internal combustion engines...
Why is nitrogen used in crisp packets?
nitrogen is a unreactive gass. It keeps the food inside the packets fresh
What is the flammability of nitrogen?
Nitrogen is not combustible. The National Fire Protection Association has assigned a flammability rating of 0 (minimal fire hazard) to nitrogen. However, In contact with ozone, nitrogen can oxidize explosively.
What is super chlorinating?
Otherwise known as "shocking". This is the use of putting a lot of chlorine to oxidize and kill all ammonia and nitrogen compounds.
What do nitrates and organic matter produce?
Nitrogen gas becomes the ultimate product of nitrates and organic matter and complete the nitrogen cycle. Organic matter converts into ammonium, which oxidizes into ammonia and then into nitrites. Nitrites oxidize into nitrates, which reduce into nitrogen gas.
Where does the heat from the compost bin come from?
Oxidized carbon generates heat in the compost bin.Specifically, a compost bin has to have moisture and materials which are carbon- and nitrogen-rich. There must be about a 27:1 ratio between carbon and nitrogen. The oxygen in water and nitrogen work to oxidize the bin's energy source, carbon.
What are the advantages of filling nitrogen in automobile tires?
Larger molecule so it will not leak as easily.Less pressure change due to temperature.Is dry, does not oxidize rim or tire.Larger molecule so it will not leak as easily.Less pressure change due to temperature.Is dry, does not oxidize rim or tire.
What is the ability to rust for nitrogen?
The ability to rust is considered a chemical change. Oxidation, a chemical process changes the substance's makeup, causes the rusting.
What are words with both z and x in them?
zax oxidize
How long does oxidize take to decompose?
It takes 3 hours for a cut apple to oxidize.
Can you use the word oxidize in a sentence?
Exposure to air caused the apple to oxidize and turn brown. He didn't want the metal to oxidize, so he applied a coat of primer.
