Chemistry in daily life

1.Coffee keeps us awake

Caffeine present in coffee


works by changing the
chemistry of the brain. It blocks
the action of a natural brain
chemical, adenosine, that is
associated with sleep.
2.Vegetables and fruits are coloured
Vegetables and fruits are strongly coloured
because they contain a chemical compound
named carotenoids. These compounds
have an area called choromophore, which
absorbs and gives off particular
wavelengths of light, generating the colour
that we then perceive.
3. Soap clean our hands
One end of soap molecules love water - they
are hydrophilic. The other end of soap
molecues hate water - they are
hydrophobic. .This is how soap cleans your
hands - it causes drops of grease and dirt to
be pulled off your hands and suspended in
water. These drops are washed away when
4.Sunscreen protect our skin from uv rays

Sunscreen combines organic and inorganic


chemicals to filter the light from the sun so
that less of it reaches the deeper layers of
your skin. The reflective particles in
sunscreen usually consist of zinc oxide or
titanium oxide
5.our emotions...
Emotions come from the arousal of the
nervous system. Millions of chemical
reactions take place in the brain at any
given time. Chemical reactions occur
because of synapses, these are parts of
the nervous system, and it is through
these that neurons are able to transmit
messages using neurotransmitters.
Conclusion
Chemistry is important because
everything you do is chemistry!
Even our body is made of
chemicals. Chemical reactions
occur when we breathe, eat, or
just sit there reading. All matter is
made of chemicals, so the
importance of chemistry is that it's
the study of everything.
