It performs many functions in the body
1) It acts as the enzymes which are catalysts [...]



What is protein synthesis?

Protein is a group of complex organic molecules which consist of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and also have the one or number of amino acids chain. The word synthesis means that when smaller molecules come together to form a larger molecules. Similarly protein synthesis is a process in which small amino acids molecules put [...]

What is water made of?

Everything is made up of atoms whether it is natural material or man made material like plastics, synthetic etc. it is the smallest particle in each and every substance. Many atoms combine together to form molecule. A single drop of water has billions of molecules and each molecule of water has two atoms of hydrogen [...]



How safe are airplanes?

Airplanes are safer than the automobiles. Chances of dying in a car accident are much more than the chances of dying in a plane crash. It is about one in 11 million in an aircraft while in an automobile the chance of dying is one in 5000 so it is safer to fly in an [...]



Why is glacial ice blue?

Glacial ice appears blue to us because all the colors of the visible spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) except blue is absorbed by the ice. This blue color wavelength is transmitted which is responsible to make our eyes see the blue color of glacial ice. For this, the light has to [...]



Why do we need protein?

Without protein our body cannot function properly.
Our body nerves, tissues, bones all are made up of proteins. So proteins become very necessary for them to grow and repair. It also used to produce some hormones and enzymes in our body .proteins are made up of amino acids. Our body produces non essential amino acids and [...]



Why does salt speed up corrosion?

Oxygen present in water and salt causes corrosion. Salt is hygroscopic in nature and it attracts the water. Water is required for corrosion and salt speeds up the process.
Corrosion is the transfer of electrons from one substance to the other so salt present in water improves the capability of water to carry electron through [...]

Why does ice stick to your skin?

To know about why ice stick to your skin we have to first know about the formation of ice. On the outer level we say that when we cool the water to certain temperature it turns to ice but on molecular basis it is something different.

Why do different colors absorb different amounts of heat energy?

We see a particular an object having a particular color. This is because it absorbs all the colors coming towards it in a light spectrum and the color which it reflects it appears of that color. Different objects absorb different wavelengths and the heat energy.
