Question

Hydrogen anyone???!?
i want to know the roles and functions of hydrogen in the body?
how much a day should we be having? i tried looking it up for like an hour but it just gave me like the atomic number and all about the element.
where is hydrogen found- what types of food/nature?
vitamins
can you have too much of this element in your system?
what are the symptoms if you do
what is the treatment? and what is the website that you found it on? and do you know the song that goes pieces of me and pieces of you....... just randon i know!
thank you all!

Answer 1

H 2 0 is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen, so the body is a hi % of water so that is a start.

Answer 2

I doubt you'll need to try and add hydrogen suplements to your diet.

Consider that every time you drink water (or any liquid/juice that contains water) you're adding hydrogen (water = H2O). That's good, since most of out bodies are made of water, and it's the medium in which most chemical reactions in our bodies occurs.

Hydrogen is also an important component in sugars and starches (C6-H12-O6 ring any bells?). And since it's a component of sugars, it's also a part of DNA (ribose and deoxyribose are sugars), proteins (hydrogen is part of the amine group, the carboxyl group, and part of the side chain [R group]), cellulose of plants (which are chains of sugars). So just about everything you eat or drink contains it.

It's also important in the formation of acids (pH is the measure of hydrogen ions, and increasing the H+ increases acidity) so hydrogen is part of the stomach acids used for digestion of our food.

Can we have too much? In theory, yes. Blood and enzymes need specific pH levels for proper function, so if our bodies were to become too acidic, we could die. But as we "digest" water, remember that the other part of the water molecule (H2O - H+ = OH-) neutralizes the H+ by turning it back into water.

Answer 3

Hmmm.

Hydrogen is a very important element.

It combines with oxygen to make water. Water is quite abundant in the body.

Hydrogen is lighter (less dense) than the air we breathe. Therefore, it is not normally found locally.

Hydrogen is combustible. When it oxidizes (burns), it explodes and leaved water as a by-product.

Hydrogen was used to float the Hindenburg.

What happens when you have too much water in your body? If you have too much water, there's too much hydrogen.

Answer 4

Biological syntheses

H2 is a product of some types of anaerobic metabolism and is produced by several microorganisms, usually via reactions catalyzed by iron- or nickel-containing enzymes called hydrogenases. These enzymes catalyze the reversible redox reaction between H2 and its component two protons and two electrons. Creation of hydrogen gas occurs in the transfer of reducing equivalents produced during pyruvate fermentation to water.[32]

Water splitting, in which water is decomposed into its component protons, electrons, and oxygen, occurs in the light reactions in all photosynthetic organisms. Some such organisms — including the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and cyanobacteria — have evolved a second step in the dark reactions in which protons and electrons are reduced to form H2 gas by specialized hydrogenases in the chloroplast.[33] Efforts have been undertaken to genetically modify cyanobacterial hydrogenases to efficiently synthesize H2 gas even in the presence of oxygen.[34]

Other rarer but mechanistically interesting routes to H2 production also exist in nature. Nitrogenase produces approximately one equivalent of H2 for each equivalent of N2 reduced to ammonia. Some phosphatases reduce phosphite to H2.

Answer 5

I don't know the answer and most probably don't either.====

Answer 6

y dont u google it????? first google answer i got http://tuberose.com/Hydrogen_and_Oxygen.html and it answers most of ur questions

Answer 7

becuz it's totally confusing
