The summer wind, came blowin in-from across the sea. It lingered there, so warm and fair-to walk with me. All summer long, we sang a song-and strolled on golden sand. Two sweethearts, and the summer wind. Like painted kites, those days and nights-went flyin by. The world was new, beneath a blue-umbrella sky.
Iron is the first element in the eighth column of the periodic table. It is classified as a transition metal. Iron atoms have 26 electrons and 26 protons with 30 neutrons occuring in the most abundant isotope. It is the sixth most abundant element in the universe. Characteristics and Properties.
Iron is an essential mineral and an important component of proteins involved in oxygen transport and metabolism Almost two-thirds of the iron in your body is found in hemoglob â¦ in, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's tissues. Smaller amounts of iron are found in myoglobin, a protein that helps supply oxygen to muscle, and in enzymes that assist biochemical reactions in cells. About 15 percent of your body's iron is stored for future needs and mobilized when dietary intake is inadequate. The remainder is in your body's tissues as part of proteins that help your body function. Adult men and post-menopausal women lose very little iron except through bleeding.
