Ever wonder why dogs sniff each others' butts? Or how Adderall works? Or whether it's OK to pee in the pool? We've got you covered: Reactions a web series about the chemistry that surrounds you every day.
Reactions is produced by the American Chemical Society.
Great video guys! Keep them coming! Im wondering if you can explain the chemistry of rubber, why is it bouncy? Does it come from a tree bark? Why does it become less integral with time, is it the sun's ray? Thank you guys!
As a college student I appreciate that you went into detail about the venoms effect on the target cell’s fibrin and the specific mutations. First video of yours I’ve watched but I’m about to binge watch now!
Isn't it the case that the ancestor of all snakes was venomous? If that's the case, wouldn't that mean that snakes were so successful that many lost the need for venom?
that blood clot was craaaazy!!! love snakes tho....
I like the Background music in this video. It's like Elevator and Super Market music. I enjoy that at times... =P
J-A the
Venomous snakes are often said to be poisonous, but poison and venom are not the same thing. Poisons must be ingested, inhaled or absorbed, while venom must be injected into the body by mechanical means.Therefore,snakes are Venomous not poisonous!!!
Venom is not poison . Snake venoms are actually which included proteins . The proteins which reacted to the body blood and the nerves systems
So if i swallow venom im fine?
Wow didn't know Taylor was featured in this
Great stuff
How can make up be dangerous?
how or will room temperature affects human emotions in daily life?
this may give me jungle nightmares!
Incorrect, mongoose can eat them
Pancakes chemistry!!! (I realy like pancakes)
I stay away from snakes man.
dude cool down i can't understand if you speak so quikly .. awersome topic though
I've always wondered why people would declare that they're the first to watch or even comment on a video.
I guess It's something for them to be proud of, which is quite alarming in itself..
+KaennC It's more a meme now than anything.
+Anneke Nehring that doesn't make it smart
+AldjinnTV Yeah, but spend enough time in TH-cam comments and you'll realise that very few of them ARE smart. Some are downright abusive. All things being equal, I'd prefer to see "first" than abusive profanity.
***** You seem to be on the defensive, I didn't say you weren't smart, you know ? Or are you one of them ?
Also, some people being dumb doesn't excuse others for being dumb as well.
And this is the internet, spam is just as bad as anything else here.
***** The anonimity of the internet is a scary thing indeed.
What do Covid-19 and alpha-cobratoxin have in common? I'll let you figure it out.

do what now?
works like cannabis
the bombadeer beetle has a cool acid attack.
Pufferfish tetrodotoxin
Yeah but where can I buy some snake venom?
Damn mother nature!
FIRST!!!!!1!
Not really...
I have 10 snakes as pets
.
I know it was a joke but snake have amazing mobility. some can out run humans easily. Some can strike with force that feels like a punch almost.
Hey can heart you so stay with family.
Wow no comments?This is a first :D
I love 🐍 lol. I no All 🐍 cinde.

25th
Your intro is gonna give someone a seizure ffs
ACS... your videos are starting to get really dark and scary.
try to lighten it up with a bit of jokes or something thought. I though you were going for a joke with the don't get too attached but no, you just advised watchers to casually be ready to part with their limbs.
End of the day it's not wrong, but could you be a bit less blunt about it?
especially when talking about some of the most dangerous biochemical compounds
