They are not formed in the body. Iron is a mineral and is also an element. It occurs in nature and we get iron into our bodies by ingestion. Usually the best sources for iron are green leafy vegetables, legumes, meats, and multivitamins with minerals.

What were all the iron molecules are in your body were originally created by?

Iron molecules in the body are created through nuclear fusion in the cores of massive stars or during supernova explosions. These processes release iron-rich debris into space, which eventually becomes incorporated into the Earth's minerals and ultimately into living organisms.

How does iron chelation work to treat iron overload in the body?

Iron chelation therapy works by using special molecules called chelators to bind excess iron in the body and help remove it through urine or feces. This helps reduce the amount of iron in the body and prevent damage caused by iron overload.


What is an essential element in hemoglobin?

Iron is an essential element in hemoglobin, as it binds to oxygen molecules in the lungs and transports them to tissues throughout the body.


Where is most of the iron in blood located?

The iron in blood is contained in hemophytes in Red Corpuscles.


What happens to the molecules when a steel bar is left outside and starts rusting?

The molecules of iron combine with molecules of oxygen to form molecules of iron oxide- or rust.


How many molecules are one mole of iron?

One mole of iron contains 6.022 x 10^23 iron atoms. Each iron atom consists of a single iron molecule, so one mole of iron contains the same number of iron molecules, which is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules.


How many atoms of iron are found in 2 molecules of iron sulfate?

If iron(II), then iron sulfate is FeSO4. This has a single Fe atom per molecule (or two Fe in two molecules). If you have iron(III), then iron sulfate is Fe2(SO4)3. This compound has two iron atoms per molecule (or four Fe in two molecules).


Is Iron oxide formed from three iron molecules and four oxygen molecules?

Probably you mean Iron and Oxygene atoms? It is a mix of oxides Fe2O3*FeO.


How does the movement of molecules inside of a solid block of iron change as iron is heated?

As iron is heated, the movement of molecules inside the solid block of iron increases, leading to greater vibration and kinetic energy. This causes the atoms and molecules to move more freely within the lattice structure of the solid, resulting in expansion of the iron block.


Why is iron in your blood?

Iron is necessary to carry oxygen molecules to your cells.
