All of the above requires
chemistry. If the field of health is defined as a combination of medical,
sanitation and health care, chemistry plays an important role in all aspects of
health. Chemistry is a science that is able to bridge various sciences, so
studying chemistry will provide benefits for human life.
Are there any benefits of chemistry in any field other than health, try to explain..
BalasHapus1. Benefits of Chemistry in the Field of Biology
HapusChemistry in the field of biology especially learn about living things (animals and plants). Chemical processes that take place in living things include digestion of food, breathing, metabolism, fermentation, photosynthesis, and others. Learning about it, it takes knowledge of the structure and properties of existing compounds, such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, enzymes, fats, nucleic acids and so forth.
2. Benefits of Chemistry in Agriculture
Soil fertility needs to be restored, to restore soil fertility needs to be done addition of fertilizer, while pests can be overcome with the addition of pesticides. The benefits and dangers of the use of fertilizers and pesticides must be understood, so there is no error in their use. Fertilizers and pesticides are products of chemistry. Therefore, it is necessary to study chemistry in order to understand the chemicals contained in the fertilizer so as not to harm the wetland ecosystem.
3. The Benefits of Chemistry in Cosmology
Cosmology is the study of the structure and history of the universe on a large scale. In particular, this science deals with the origin and evolution of a subject. Chemistry provides an overview of the evolution that occurs, namely by studying the particles that make up the universe.
4. Benefits of Chemistry in the Field of Law
The field of law directly does not have anything to do with chemistry, but the benefits of chemistry in this field of law can be felt when the application of criminal proof of criminology is examined. The body part of the suspect can be examined by examining its DNA structure, because the DNA structure of each person is different, and this examination involves chemistry.
5. Benefits of Chemistry in the Field of Geology

The benefits of chemistry in this case aims for the building materials can be known advantages and disadvantages, so as to minimize accidents or losses in the end
Why in the field of sanitation, knowledge of antimicrobial chemicals is important in its application?
BalasHapusThere are thousands of chemicals used to control microorganisms. It is important to understand the distinguishing features of each of these substances and the organisms that can be controlled and how they are affected by their environment. Every chemical has its limitations in effectiveness, when used under practical conditions these limitations need to be observed. The desired goal in terms of microorganism control is not always the same. In some cases it may be necessary to shut down all organisms (sterilization) whereas in other cases it may be enough to kill some microorganisms but not all (sanitation).
HapusThus the choice of a chemical for practical use is also affected by the expected antimicrobial results thereof.
The workings of chemicals in the inhibition or shutting down of the microorganisms vary, some of which alter the structure of cell walls or other cell membranes inhibit the synthetic vital cellular components or that alter the physical state of the cellular material. Knowledge of the specific behavior of how a chemical produces an anti-microbial effect is useful both for considering its possibilities for practical use and for suggesting possible improvements to design new chemicals.
