Coins are made of metal alloys.  The alloys are a mixture of metals and are made just like a lemonade is made.  Metals coins must have specific characteristics like luster and a almost free of rust.  Mexican coins are made of different alloys so the can match and if you place all coin denominations we will have a full Aztec calendar.

Green plants provide a substantial proportion of the world's molecular oxygen, and are the basis of most of Earth's ecosystems.

Freezing happens when the molecules of a liquid get so cold that they slow down enough to hook onto each other, forming a solid crystal. For pure water, this happens at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and unlike most other solids, ice expands and is actually less dense than water. That is why ice cubes float!]]> 2020-08-04 19:11:30 UTC https://padlet.com/upperyears/lens/wish/669390024 Cat Coat Genetics guillermo_flores2 https://padlet.com/upperyears/lens/wish/669390043 Feline genetics determine the color, pattern, length and texture of fur.

Es muy resistente a la corrosión. Su estado de oxidación más alto es el +6, aunque estos compuestos son muy oxidantes. Los estados de oxidación +4 y +5 son poco frecuentes, mientras que los estados más estables son +2 y +3. También es posible obtener compuestos en los que el cromo presente estados de oxidación más bajos, pero son bastante raros
El cromo interviene en el metabolismo de los hidratos de carbono, grasas y proteínas. Este mineral regula los niveles de azúcar en la sangre. Es necesario, por lo tanto, para una correcta acción de la insulina en las células.
El cromo también tiene una acción anticoagulante, es decir evita la formación de coágulos y previene la aparición de la arteriosclerosis. Su papel fluidificante de la sangre ejerce un control sobre las obstrucciones de los vasos sanguíneos, previniendo la aparición de problemas muy graves, como la angina de pecho, trombosis, ictus, etc.
