No.

The immune system protects against biological targets like microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi, viruses), cancers, etc.

Free radicals are nonliving chemicals that are ionized and highly reactive. Vitamin E is a partial protection against free radicals.

Note: the immune system creates free radicals itself that it uses to attack its various targets. Sometimes the free radicals produced by the immune system damage the body too, causing additional symptoms beyond the disease itself. Taking excessively high doses of vitamin E can prevent this function of the immune system from working.

Does BrO3 have any free radicals?

No, BrO3 does not have any free radicals. The BrO3 molecule consists of bromine bonded to three oxygen atoms, and there are no unpaired electrons present to form free radicals.


Is there any food what permanently can destroy free radicals?

No.


What are some examples of free radicals?

Hydrogen Peroxide is an example of a free radical. A free radical works by causing the oxidation of another atom. Free radicals are highly reactive because they are missing an electron. They will take that electron from any plant, human, or animal atom in a cell. That atom is then missing an electron and becomes a free radical itself. When any compound has the suffix -oxide in it, that usually hints that it is a free radical and would be considered basic on the pH scale.


How do electronics affect the ozone layer?

By not affecting it in any way. The manufacture of electronic devices might affect the ozone layer, if that manufacture releases free radicals or freon (chloroflurocarbons) into the atmosphere ... free radicals destroy ozone. However, electronics themselves have no impact on the ozone layer.


What are the benefits of taking an antioxidant supplement?

Taking an antioxidant supplement can keep one from sickness. This type of supplement can eliminate free radicals from attacking the immune system. Antioxidants reduce the number of oxidation reactions, which generate free radicals that can start chain reactions to damage cells. They are commonly used in preservatives. While antioxidant supplements have been linked to reduced cancer and coronary heart disease, the most recent large clinical trials have not shown any benefits (and in some cases harm in large quantities). The body's immune system relies on oxidation reactions and antioxidant supplements can therefore have negative effects on immunity.

Why initiator efficiency in any free radical polymerization is always low?

Initiator efficiency in free radical polymerization is typically low because not all initiator molecules generate active radicals that are capable of initiating polymerization reactions. This is due to side reactions such as termination or chain transfer processes that can reduce the number of active radicals available for polymerization. Additionally, some radicals may not efficiently propagate the polymerization due to their reactivity or stability.


What is termination in chemistry?

Termination in chemistry refers to the step in a chain reaction where free radicals react with each other to form stable products, effectively stopping the chain reaction from continuing. This can happen when radicals with unpaired electrons combine to form a molecule without any unpaired electrons.


Why is it important that any semiquione that is formed at the Q0 site in the cytochrome bc1 complex be very short lived?

Semiquinone is a free radical. Although it is vital for the function of complex III, free radicals are highly reactive. These free radicals, being highly reactive, can do serious damage to a cell in oxidation reactions, particularly if they react with oxygen species and form reactive oxygen species (ROS). An ROS will subsequently react with other molecules, including DNA, and cause permanent damange (mutations in the case of DNA). The free radicals can also react directly with the same molecules, but this is not as common. Cells have a number of metabolic pathways to neutralise any free radical or ROS threat. They can repair some damage that may occur, even to DNA, but prevention is preferred. Enzymes are capable of reducing free radicals to peroxides, which can then be converted back to unreactive species (such as water) by enzymes like catalase.


Was it just the Jews who got taken away during the holocaust?

no, the Jews were the main race taken but there were also gypsies, any free radicals that the Nazis could find.. anyone who was different was taken.
