Blood is a necessary component of the majority of living organisms (all vertebrates and some invertebrates); it carries vital nutrients‚ oxygen and proteins to body tissues and carries away waste products. Blood‚ although most commonly red‚ can also be found in such colours as green‚ blue‚ clear‚ pink and violet. However‚ the common misconception surrounding the idea that human blood is blue before oxygenation is false. All human blood is varying shades of red; these wild alternate colours are

The Sweet Science of Candy Making Have you ever wondered about the mysteries behind the unique textures in candy? It is because of the chemistry behind candy making that we are able to consume a variety of textured candy such as rock candy‚ fudge and glass candy. Despite only using boiled water and sugar‚ the type of candy formed is dependent on the presence of sugar crystal formation and its size. At a molecular level‚ sucrose molecules form a small crystal that is orderly arranged in three

Alchemy in relation to Chemistry Practical applications of alchemy produced a wide range of contributions to medicine and the physical sciences. The alchemist Robert Boyle is credited as being the father of chemistry. Paracelsian iatrochemistry emphasized the medicinal application of alchemy ‚continued in plant alchemy‚ orspagyric. Studies of alchemy also influenced Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity.Alchemists made contributions to the "chemical" industries of the day—ore testing and refining‚ metalworking

My interest in Chemistry and Biology throughout my high school education has led me to apply for college courses in these areas. These are my strongest subjects and the ones in which I feel most capable. My interest in Biology‚ in particular‚ has stemmed from my vocation with domestic dogs. I have trained and helped with the treatment of injured dogs. From an early age and up to 2008‚ I’ve owned a German-Sheppard myself‚ which I trained from harming people and good behavioral manners.

Chemistry SCH3U-B‚ Unit 2‚ Lesson 6: Key Questions 19. Based on the observations provided in the kitchen lab‚ “Developing an Activity Series”‚ the order of the four metals from most reactive to least reactive is: zinc‚ iron‚ nickel‚ copper. Zinc is the most reactive. The reaction occurred quickly… small bubbles (hydrogen) appeared straight away. As the reaction continued‚ larger bubbles (more hydrogen) appeared. At the end of the experiment‚ the nail was completely rusted. Hydrogen displaced the
