#1) Would Germanium be capable of forming bio-molecular groups that are able to support life as we understand?
Answer: Based on the research I made on Germanium, I do not believe that it would be capable of forming bio-molecular groups that are able to support life. This chemical element is mainly used in semiconductors and fiber optics.
#2) Why or why not?
Answer: The reason why I believe it is not capable of forming bio-molecular groups is that the health claims that it can increase the immune system, oxygen supply in the body, and that it destroys free radicals, has little to no scientific support. It’s use as a health supplement can lead to side effects such as kidney damage, anemia, and muscle weakness.
I hope it helps, Regards.
