Why does lemon juice make pennies turn green?
The lemon juice and salt cause a chemical reaction that eats away at the corosion on the penny causing it to shine. It is basic chemistry just like almost all of the living body functions like burping are caused by chemical reactions. Those chemical reactions have to include water to make the bodily chemical reactions work.
How does the body neutralize acid?
by alkalising it with bodily fluids
What substance acts to prevent sudden pH in bodily fluids?
buffer
Get rid of fabric softener detergent smell?
Fabric softener is highly carcinogenic. The synthetic fragrances used to make it are from petrochemicals. There are over 4000 chemicals to pick from when making a fragrance. Any one fragrance added to your fabric softener is made up of about 400 chemicals. EPA researches the chemicals for human health effects one by one, not in combination. Of the 50 chemicals submitted for "approval" each month by the EPA, only 12% get tested for toxicity. Of those 12%, 80% are carcinogenic (cancer causing). The tests that are used are negotiotiable with the industry creating the chemicals. The Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Assoc is the lobbying group for the fragrance industry lobbies to protect the "trade secrets" of these fragrances, which when used in combination are likely much more toxic than used alone. (like corexit used in the Gulf oilspill...together with the sweet crude oil (the kind that leaked) produce a double whammy. Sweet crude oil is more volatile than other kinds of oil that is drilled, therefore the by products are more easily carried into the air currents and brought on land. Fragrances (synthetic) are immune suppressors, neurological inhibitors, and endocrine disruptors. If you say "you gotta die of something" then please consider that you are not just effecting your own life but all aquatic life and microorganisms, as these chemicals are flushed from your bodily wastes (shower and toilet) and your washing machine and into bodies of water where, as an aquatic toxicolosist friend of mne told me, are causing male fish to exhibit female traits. Maybe that's where we are headedfor those who don't care..make your self sterile so you can't reproduce the same ignorant non caring off spring. Perfect solution.
What happens if there is no oxygen in your body?
You would pass out way before you reached the "no Oxygen" point. Red blood cells would no longer be red. Mussels would stop working and start generating chemicals to stay alive breaking down other bodily substances. Death would occur. Hypoxia is not the way to go out calmly.
How does alcohol affect your sport?
Alcohol is a depressant, which means that it slows bodily functioning and reactions time.
How can you affect the reaction rate in your body?
It depends on the reaction you're trying to affect. Caffeine affects certain reactions, as does alcohol and sleeping pills. Ice slows quite a number of reactions, and lowering the body temperature can certainly affect almost all bodily reactions, since the human body is an chemical/electrical organism. Your Thyroid gland produces a hormone that speeds reactions and a problem with your Thyroid gland will certainly cause problems that are quite diverse. Clinical depression can also slow reaction rate. Exercises speed many reactions and do it in a far more healthy way than do chemicals. To get a more specific answer, you'll need to ask a more specific question.
What do enzymes do in living things?
Enzymes act as biological catalysts, speeding up various bodily reactions.
What is Dysponesis?
Condition named by chiropractors to describe misdirected physical reactions to various stimuli (i.e., emotions, bodily sensations, environmental events, and thoughts) and the effects of these reactions throughout the body.
Why its important to observe an individuals reactions when communicating with them?
Observing an individual's reactions when communicating with them is important because it helps you gauge their understanding, engagement, and emotional state. This allows you to adjust your communication style or message to ensure clarity and effectiveness. It also demonstrates empathy and shows respect for the other person's feelings and responses.
Cell process affect the entire biosphere Is this statement False?
yes cell processes affect all of bodily functions is false
Why is blood necessary for all of the parts of body?
Blood serves a medium to provide oxygen to all parts of the body. Oxygen is required for normal bodily reactions to occur.
What bodily function does metabolism affect?
all the above
Cell processes affect all of bodily functions?
Pathophysiology is the study of how disease processes affect the function of the body. Pathophysiology is very useful for EMT's to understand how common illnesses and injuries affect the body and how the body reacts.
Explain the importance of phosphorylation in biochemical reactions?
Phosphorylation creates ATP (adenicine triphosphate) from ADP (adenicine diphosphate). ATP is the molecule needed to sustain our cells, and therefore our bodily functions.
How does the nervous system affect other systems?
it is the control centre for the body, if it fails, all the other bodily systems fail, they shutdown, you die
Is Assault with caustic chemicals a crime that requires a specific intent to injure the flesh or disfigure the body of another?
