A organelle that detoxifies free radicals are known as?
Peroxizome.
How can i Outline the Inhibition of combustion chains involving a free radicals mechanism?
The combustion process begins when a fuel source is heated beyond its ignition temperature in the presence of an oxidant, with this molecular energy creating a self-sustaining chemical chain reaction of radicals when the energy it produces is greater than or equal to the energy needed for continued burning. so by this definition removal of the oxidising agent will prevent the chain reaction to occur.
How are chlorine free radicals are formed in the upper atmosphere?
Chlorine radicals are formed by CFC's. They deplete the ozone layer.
Will large numbers of radicals within the body increase the risk of coronary heart disease?
Oxygen free radicals will :D
How can detect free radicals by ESRA spectroscopy?
It is possible to detect free radicals by ESR spectroscopy and imaging through the use of nitroxides. ESR stands for Electric Spin Resonance. Nitroxides trap free radicals under the skin during UV irradiation.
What cell organelle possesses oxidise enzymes that function in neutralizing harmful free radicals?
The cell organelles that possess oxidase enzymes that function in neutralizing harmful free radicals are the peroxisomes. They are also known as microbodies and can be found in almost all eukaryotic cells.
What decompose fatty acids and detoxify alcohol free radicals and other drugs?
Peroxisomes
A organelle that detoxifies free radicals are known as?
Peroxizome.
Why do radicals react quickly to form covalent bonds with nearby substances?
Radicals have electrons available for bonding, so they react quickly, forming covalent bonds with nearby substances
Name 3 types of substances formed from decomposition?
Ions, radicals and neutral molecules.
What detoxifies harmful substances like alcohol formaldehyde and disarms free radicals?
Peroxisome "Peroxisomes, like lysosomes, are enzyme-containing sacs. However, their oxidases have a different task. Using oxygen, they detoxify a number of harmful substances, most importantly free radicals. Peroxisomes are particularly abundant in kidney and liver cells, cells that are actively involved in detoxification." (Credit to Authors Elaine N. Marieb and Susan J. Mitchell)
What are Highly reactive charged molecular fragments created when electromagnetic radiation interacts with a cells DNA are called?
free radicals
How can that lactic acid bacteria can grow aerobically although they are catalase negative?
Although they lack catalase, they possess superoxide dismutase and have alternative means to detoxify peroxide radicals, generally through peroxidase enzymes
What do blackcurrants do for your body?
Black currants enrich the body with antioxidants; substances that may protect cells against effects of free radicals.
What is the difference between positively charged molecular ions and positively charged ions having group of atoms?
Molecular Ions essentially consist of the same type of atoms (most probably the atoms of the same element) and the radicals may not have the same characteristic.
What is meant by acidic radicals?
electronegative radicals are anions or acid radicals.
What are the health benefits of acai?
Acai berry contain antioxidants that detoxify our cells, promoting cell regeneration and delaying the aging process. Antioxidants also help us prevent cancer by removing the free radicals that damages our DNA. Read more on the links provided below.
