What are the chemical changes that cause what some call hunger-breath?

"Hunger breath" is caused by a condition called ketosis. In ketosis, the body recognizes that there are no calories being ingested and starts breaking down fat stores for energy. This results in the production of ketones, which can also be used for energy, but in large quantities can increase the acidity of the blood. If these ketone levels continue to rise the body attempts to lower the pH by eliminating the ketones via urine and lungs. This results in the odd smelling breath.
Ketosis is the underlying principle in the low-carbohydrate diet, which "tricks" the body into thinking it is undergoing famine without actually requiring the person to limit calorie intake.

Why do some kind of point changes cause greater changes in proteins than others?
Because not every point mutation changes the protein. If it doesn't change, we call it a silent mutation or when one letter is deleted at the beginning, than the whole chain changes, but if it's at the end only the and changes so it's a bigger effect on the protein :p
Why non biodegradable materials cause various type of pollution?
OK imagine a chemical. Let's call it chemical X. And this chemical can't be broken down for billions year. Now imagine you just through a can of chemical into the garbage. It would then go a landfill and get absorbed into the ground. It could then evaporate with the water and pollute the rain which would then spread it to a larger area and if this continued then well let's just say you better get used to chemical X on the rocks.
