Question

Explain how chemicals and chemical reactions are an important part of your life.

Answer 1

Chemical reactions keep you alive!

One of the most important is the oxidation of glucose in your mitochondria:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ energy used to make ATP)

The reaction is carried out over several steps in the body.

Answer 2

Well, the exhange of oxygen in my lungs helps me live and deliver it to all organs needing it (cells). Nuclear reactions are different, but fusion provides the energy plants need for photosynthesis. Hydrocarbons release a great deal of energy making water and CO2 (cars). I use ammonium glass cleaner for my windows. I avoid trans isomer compounds in my diet.
