You might already know that carbon dioxide in high concentrations is poisonous to us. Therefore, it has to be appropriately removed/excreted from within the body. This is accomplished through three main biologi
Why is methanol poisonous? Why are functional groups important in organic chemistry? Explain why a synthesized ester does not always match the odour of the naturally derived chemical. Why is carbon dioxide considered a greenhouse gas? Why are saturated hydrocarbons generally less reactive than unsatu...
Car exhaust fumes contain certain poisonous chemicals, includingcarbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, formaldehyde, benzeneandsoot, all of which can be detrimental to the human body if consistently inhaled in large quantities. Sometimes, we like things that are just plain weird and make ...
Carbon Monoxide. Lead. Nitrogen Oxides. Ozone. Particulate Matter. Sulfur Dioxide. Other Air Pollutants. How will air pollution affect the future? If air pollution is not controlled, by 2030 the air will become so poisonous that it will be necessary to use an oxygen kit to breathe easily. ...
Professor: It is poisonous to humans.Uh. actually, we used to think that it was toxic to all biological life, that it didn't serve any biological purpose.But new study suggests that cadmium can actually substitute for zinc, that organisms can use it instead of zinc when there isn't ...
Why is methanol poisonous? Why is sulphuric acid called the king of chemicals? What determines the strength of an acid? Why is CaBr2 brine highly alkaline? Why are heavy metals toxic? Why does vinegar have to be diluted before titration? Why can't linolenic acid be synthesized by humans?
If not, the short answer is that mitochondria take oxygen and use it to to break down organic molecules into water and carbon dioxide. The energy released via this reaction is captured and used to fuel life itself. So, a book on the history of oxygen is by necessity going to overlap a...
The microorganisms take potentially toxic (to us) compounds and digest them into harmless or even beneficial forms, rendering foods that could otherwise be poisonous or irritating safe to eat. One example of this can be found in cassava tubers grown in some regions of the world — they ...
To make these foods tasty, restaurants add many sauces and mixes, which makes it poisonous. Is it healthy if we make junk foods at home? No, is the answer as the name itself says those foods are "junk". For example, noodles cooked at home or at restaurant is not healthy and is not...
While in the beginning carbonation was added to drinks because it was thought it was beneficial to the human body, today carbonation is added for very different reasons, namely, taste and shelf life. Carbonating beverages, introducing CO2 into the drink mix under pressure, makes the drink slight...
