Antioxidants work by stabilizing free radicals or opposing oxidation, therefore protecting our cells from damage. there are certain minerals that function within complex antioxidant enzyme systems and are called what:

They are called Antioxidants minerals.

Explanation:

Antioxidants are compounds that prevent the damage of cells thereby op opposing oxidation.

Antioxidants minerals are minerals that acts as cofactors that enable enzymes perform their duties. They function within complex antioxidant enzyme system that convert free radicals to less destructive substances. Examples of antioxidant minerals are selenium,copper, iron, zinc and manganese.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
