Can Minerals act as fatty acids in enzymatic reactions.?

Are there any metals which do not act as a conductor?

All metals are electrically conductive.


Which fruits and vegetables produce electricity?

First, fruits don't "produce" electricity, but they create acids. These acids, in combination with metals in the fruit circuit are the reason electricity is produced. Electrolytes are salts like magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc that are a result of one of these acids dissolving into a solution, leaving them as ions. These ions carry charges and this is what allows the electricity to flow. Citrus fruits usually contain more electrolytes than others and because of their higher concentration of ions, more electricity flows through.

Why can some metals act as permanent magnets?

Certain metals, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, have electrons that align in a specific way within their atomic structure, creating a magnetic field. When these metals are exposed to a strong external magnetic field, the alignment of their electrons can become fixed, resulting in a permanent magnet. This phenomenon is known as ferromagnetism.


Which metal acts as an insulator?

It specifically monitors levels of 8 different metals that have special environmental concerns. Those metals, called the RCRA-8 metals, are arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium and silver.


Why are there acids in some foods?

Acids are naturally present in some foods to help enhance flavor, act as a preservative, or play a role in food manufacturing processes. They can also contribute to the characteristic taste of certain foods, such as citrus fruits. Additionally, some acids help balance the pH levels in foods to prevent spoilage.
