Introduction

All life forms on Earth depend greatly on chemistry for

their survival , including us. Everything from surviving

treacherous climates, to how our bodies develop, andwork are all related to the world of chemistry.

Chemistry and Life

Chemistry and the Climate

certain organisms are able to live under those extreme climates and

temperatures (depths of the sea, scalding waters, and the

unbearable cold of the Arctic) as their biology is able to use the

chemicals to thrive in such places! The microbe group calledArchaea, is able to live in such harsh conditions, because the use

of enzymes called, extremozymes. These extremozymes coat and

protect the microbes from extreme temperatures.

Chemistry and Us

Without chemistry it would be impossible for us to live. We needchemistry and chemicals for everything we do! When we eat food, achemical mixture itself, is decomposed by chemicals called enzymes andacids. Our organs are protected from harmful acids, chemicals, with a

layer of other chemicals in the form of mucus, without whitch ourorgans made up of chemicals would slowly dissolve away. But chemicalsand chemistry may also harm us, such as the acids we find in ourstomachs the pesticides and poisons. In fact any thing when not neededor in more concentration than the optimum levels will become poison

and may affect our life. What is poison for one may be life giving forthe other. We owe our life not only to the most abundant chemicals onearthwater and oxygen, but also to the myriad other chemicals thatmake our life comfortable.

Chemistry has an important role in life. Everyday chemistry is about

us, and everyday we use chemistry. Without it we would not be

able to survive.

Nobody knows exactly how much oil is there on earth.

Chances are that there may not be more than 20-25% of whatever has already beenfound. We have already consumed about 50 % of oil found.

At present levels of consumption, 86 million barrels of oil per day, these reserves maynot last longer than 40 years.

It is likely that oil prices will go on increasing because of the rise in demand.

We can help by reducing our need for petroleum and products. This is easily saidrather than done.

We use about 140 million tonnes of oil and oil products per year and we import 80 %of our oil requirement.

Without oil our transportation, food production, distribution ,medicare and allservices will be severely affected.
