- What is the importance of knowing the chemistry of drugs?arrow_forwardLike anatomy and physiology, chemistry may be a somewhat scary subject for you. Think of it this way: Chemistry is simply the study of matter, its composition, structure, properties, and the changes matter may undergo. Your goal in training as a cosmetologist is not to become a scientist, but to develop a comfort level with the basics and an ability to discuss chemistry in relation to your profession. This will increase your credibility significantly with your clients, especially during the consultation process. In the space provided, write how chemistry affects your everyday life.arrow_forwardConsider the following data that was collected for a protein that contain 0.76 % tryptophan amino acids by weight (Molecular weight of tryptophan amino acids is 204 g/mol).
