Select the true statements regarding ions, electrolytes, and free radicals. check all that apply.

Answer;

-Free radicals combine quickly with molecules such as fats, proteins, and DNA, converting them into free radicals and triggering chain reactions that destroy still more molecules

-Electrolytes are important for their chemical reactivity, osmotic effects, and electrical effects (which are essential to nerve and muscle function) .

-The attraction of cations and anions to each other is important in maintaining the excitability of muscle and nerve cells.

Explanation;

-Ions are charged particles with unequal number of protons and electron. Electrolytes are salts that ionize in water and form solutions capable of conducting an electric current.

-Free radicals are chemical particles with an odd number of electrons. Free radicals produced by normal metabolic reactions, radiation, chemicals. They cause tissue damage, reactions that destroy molecules, causes cancer, death of heart tissue, and aging.

any abiotic or biotic factor in an ecosystem that causes a population's size to slow or decrease is a limiting factor.

the food storage products of chrysophytes are oils or the polysaccharide laminarin.   formerly classified as plants, the chrysophytes contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and c all but the yellow-green algae also contain the carotenoid pigment fucoxanthin.
