7 Isotopes existing in nature Mass #---natural Abundance---half life 56------------91.754%-----------stable 57-------------2.119%------------stable 58-------------0.282%-----------stable Role in the human body -Iron is the substance that caries oxygen within the red blood cells. - Iron is also used in the hemoglobin of the red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. How iron is obtained by humans -Iron is consumed when humans eat meat, seafood, beans, greens, and vegetables. How iron is used in industry -Iron is the cheapest and most abundant of all metals. -Iron is used to make paper clips to skyscrapers and everything in- between. -When added to other elements, Iron can give steel very useful properties. Other interesting facts: -Iron’s chemical symbol comes from the Latin word for iron, ferrum. -Iron is the fourth most abundant element in the universe.

13 Carbon In Industry ◊ rotating machinery & conducting electricity ◊ pencils ◊ jewelry ◊ grinding machines ◊ drill bits ◊ glass cutting ◊ fuels ◊ bikes & motorcycles ◊ Inks ◊ paints ◊ rubber products ◊ cores of dry cell batteries ◊ lubricants Obtaining Carbon Carbon is obtained by mining coal from deposits, and then processing it for further use. Role In Human Body Carbon is the building material of life and all molecules made of carbon are called organic. Without it, life would not exist. 18% of the human body is carbon. It is key in holding our bodies together as well as keeping minerals inside of us. Many minerals actually contain carbon. Since carbon has the ability to form many different bonds, it creates compounds that our bodies need. One compound would be carbohydrates which provide us with energy. Proteins, fats and nucleic acids are also forms of carbon found in living organisms. Interesting Facts Fourth most abundant element in the universe One of the oldest elements Made in the interiors of stars Origin of the name 'carbon' comes from the Latin word carbo, for charcoal Cutler Cleveland.
