Relationship of biology with chemistry:

"Biological processes of living organisms depend upon the interactions of the atoms, molecules
and compounds that make up living tissues and the environment in which life takes place."

1. Living cells contain 75% water. Water is the primary material in cytoplasm and blood
which allows for the transport of materials in both unicellular and multicellular
organisms.
2. Water is the Hydrogen donor in the energy exchanges that take place in photosynthesis
and cellular respiration. The hydrogen and hydroxide molecular bond of water makes it
act as both an acid and a base providing Hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions for an infinite
number of chemical reactions that take place at the cellular level.
3. All enzymes are chemical structures. Without the enzyme activity the survival of living
body is difficult.
4. Living organisms gain energy from proteins, carbohydrates and lipids (all are organic
molecules).
5. A plant undergoes photosynthesis by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in
order to create glucose and oxygen for aerobic respiration in an animal or the complex
ionic dance of the sodium and potassium pump that allows nerves to transmit
information, everything living thing depends upon Chemistry for life on earth to
continue.
6. Chemistry gives us information about how chemical reactions occur Human body stands
primarily on metabolic reaction. Chemistry helps us to define these terminologies.
7. Dalton's law of partial pressure describes the process of respiration.
8. What we need to do in deep seas and at higher altitudes.
9. Filtration in the kidney, active transport, endosmosis, exosmosis, facilitated diffusion are
occurring of living bodies.
10. Chemistry gives the study of composition of skin, organs their chemical nature that help
to make cosmetics.
11. Blood tests and other chemical analysis can be done with the help of analytical chemistry.
12. Chemistry relates with biology in describing how water movement in phloem, how
hydrogen bonding, adhesive and cohesive forces are involved in water uptake by plants.
13. The most common disease known as diabetes can be treated using insulin. After you eat,
carbohydrates break down into glucose, a sugar that is the body's primary source of
energy. Glucose then enters the bloodstream. The pancreas responds by
producing insulin, which allows glucose to enter the body's cells to provide energy. If
pancreases don’t produce enough insulin due to some envirmental and genetic causes it
causes diabetes.
14. There is a chemical cycle in nature. The animals would disappear from the face of the
Earth if it were not for the photosynthesizing plants, since animals require for their
nutrition the complex organic compounds that can be synthesized only by plants. The
animal excretions and the animal body after death are also converted by a process of
decay to simple products that can be re-utilized only by plants.
15. Minute amounts of dietary substances known as the vitamins prevent diseases such as
beriberi, scurvy, and pellagra when riboflavin (vitamin B2) was found to be
an integral part of an enzyme. concept that many vitamins are essential in the chemical
reactions of the cell by virtue of their role in enzymes.
16.  Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was isolated from muscle which provide energy to the
body cells. After the death the body of human being becomes rigid because ATP stop
providing energy to proteins which causes the mobility of muscle cells.
17. The use of radioactive isotopes for the treatment of cancer.
18. Cisplatin (Pyrone's salt), a compound known for over 100 years, as an anticancer drug.
This extremely simple inorganic substance, was found by Barnett Rosenberg et al. in
1969 to be a powerful antitumor agent (1), is now a complete cure for testicular cancer if
the disease is caught early enough, and has shown effectiveness, particularly in
combination therapy, against many other cancers as well.
19. All the soaps, detergents we use is chemistry.
20. All the makeup items are chemistry.
21. Organ preservation is the supply line for organ transplantation. Currently, the liver,
pancreas, and kidney can be successfully preserved for up to two days by flushing the
organs with the University of Wisconsin (UW) organ preservation solution and storing
them at hypothermia (0-5 degree C).

How are organs preserved?


Most organs are placed in "static cold storage" after they're harvested, meaning that the organ is
deposited in a cooler full of ice, according to a 2019 report in the Journal of International
Medical Research.

What solution is used to preserve organs?

UW solution is the most common cold storage solution in organ preservation. It was initially
developed as a preservation solution for pancreas transplantation18, but has been widely used in
preserving different kinds of organs, including the kidney, liver, and small bowel.

Why are organs kept on ice?

This happens because many of these organs can't be preserved long enough for transplant. ...
Keeping an organ in good condition currently entails some variation of putting it on ice, thus
cooling it down to slow metabolism and minimize cell death.

What liquid is used to preserve specimens?

The most common fluid preservative is alcohol. The purpose of the fluid preservative solution is
to stabilize the specimen and prevent it from deteriorating.

Which gas is used to preserve donated organs?

Since the source of hydrogen gas is a hydrogen-absorbing alloy canister, it can be easily and
safely brought to the site of donor organ extraction, and hydrogen gas can be quickly infused into
the organ preservation solution even in an emergency.
