Chemistry can be related to my job when I get older by how I will have to know the chemical processes for the body, and how vitamins and certain chemicals can alter and function the body differently. Doctors can use blood or even urine to determine a state for your health. I will have to know how certain chemicals can alter body functions and how the use of drugs or vitamins can help your body function correctly. A doctor will use chemistry to control infections and try to prevent them from spreading by washing and cleaning everything after use. They will use chemistry by knowing which elements function best together and which elements are most dangerous together. I will need to know what each medicine can do to the body and if that medicine

Our digestive system mechanically breaks down the food into small pieces, which is then chemically digested through the action of enzymes. Our body breaks down food into gluten and sugars along with many other things to be used as energy. Primary components in the food we eat are carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are used to provide energy for working muscles, and preventing protein from being used as energy. Lipids are natural occurring organic compounds that include fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, and have some of the same elements as carbohydrates. They are used for storing energy, and as a structural component for cell membranes. Proteins are a large class of biological molecules. They perform multiple functions such as DNA replication, and transporting molecules from one location to …show more content…
Emotion is an adaptive response, part of the vital process of normal reasoning and decision making. Emotion is critical to learning and memory. It is an adaptive form of physiological response and it regulates our lives. Emotions cause the body wide release and take in of all sorts of information carrying molecules. Thousands of different chemicals participate in the functioning of the brain, Hundreds of different neurotransmitters exist in the brain, and are put in different groups based on their chemical structure. Emotional states in the brain consist of three types of compounds: neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and hormones. Neurotransmitters transmit signals across a chemical synapse, they are also the core constituents of proteins. Neuropeptides are signaling molecules that influence activity of the brain in certain ways. They are also involved in a huge variety of brain functions, including: reward, food intake, learning, and memory. Hormones are chemicals that are released into areas throughout the body and are used to communicate between organs and tissues. They are released and are transported by the circulatory system for control of physiological and behavioral
