Is it possible 2 create the Elixir Of Life trough Chemistry?????

Thats an interesting question.\nSorry to hear about ur granny's death.\nU cant say anything surely about science, but I dont think Chemists will be able to create the elexir of life.\nRather Molecular Biologists or Biochemists are better candidate, who deal with living cells and organisms and all the chemical reactions going on there.\nPersonally I think its quite impossible for us to be immortal, there is a Bioloigcal clock which regulates all the processes, but surely we can delay the date.\nAbout ur comment, "There is no reason u wanted to be a chemist if u dont have a dream......" I disagree. There r some who r fascinated with Chemistry without just any reason........(at least me, though I'm studying undergraduate course on Genetic Engineering & Biotechnoogy).

well theres alot of material i can provide you with but i dont know what particular experiment you are designing as there are always different experiments within an experiment.\nanyhow, i think this is an example of an experiment for photosynthesis and respiration and their pH levels.\n\nhttp://www.science.siu.edu/plant-biology/plb337/old_st_papers/emmert.pdf \n\n\nif you are doing the same experiment, i guess you will find this one really helpful.\n\n.. Good Luck

nope i dont think soo cuz non living factors cannot become living organisms.....but its jus a guess ok=)

A simple voltaic device can be made with a piece of fruit and 2 pieces of dissimilar metals.  It won't run your house even if you have lots of them.  The juice serves only as the electrolyte, not the energy source.\n\nFor real power, you'd need to ferment and distil the juice and put it in a fuel cell.  There's lots of fuel cell info online.

Then defend it... I say that there is no way that a random chance process could have formed life forming proteins and DNA with their unique chirality. If proteins and DNA were formed by chance  each and every one of the components would be a 50/50 mixture of the two optical isomers. This is not what we see in natural proteins or in natural DNA. How can a random chance natural process create proteins with thousands of "L" molecules, and then also create DNA with billions of "R" molecules? Does this sound like random chance or a product of design? Even if \nthere were a magic process to introduce chirality, it would only create one isomer. If such a process existed, we do not know anything about it or how it would work. If it did exist, how were compounds with the other chirality ever formed? Even if there were two magical processes, one for each isomer, what determined which process  was used and when it was used, if this was a random chance natural process? The idea of two processes requires a controlling mechanism, and this kind of control is not possible in a random chance natural process.\nYou are an intelligent man alot smarter than a mere theist so I don't think I need to explain chirality more thoroughly. You just need to defend your statement... Too bad you can't now that you have this informant ion.....   Jim

Yes, without any chemical reaction in your body you would not be able to live. \nWithout physical interactions you wouldn't be able to live either. \n\nI am not quite sure what your question is, but I think the idea that the whole is more than the sum of its components could be helpful \ne.g. a house can be fully build from bricks, but it is very different from just a unregular heap of bricks. You can find shelter from rain/cold in a house, but barely under a heap of bricks. \nAnd you can get very different houses depending on how you put your bricks together.

This would not be possilbe.  In the process of digesting and assimilating these essential elements, our bodies create some waste or by-products.  We have to get rid of it somehow.\n\nOur bodies are not Carnot engines - we cannot attain 100% efficiency.  The second law of thermodynamics tells us this (entropy is increasing).\n\nPlus, there are very few pleasures as great as sitting down and passing a nice well-formed turd.

You would need an enormous source of hydrogen, to make the reaction self sustained. That would mean a lot of water and electricity.\n\nMy idea to solve for excess CO2 would be to genetically modify algae so that they can live on Mars or Venus.

This is not possible for countless reasons.  First of all, when you say elements, the body is comprised primarily of cells, and all cells are subject to immune system monitoring, just like any invasive substance.  Now, all of the cells body express products that tell the body "this is your body, do not kill me".  Any part that does not express these products will be destroyed.  This is what makes transplants difficult.  So your idea is something that can never come to fruition.

possible but its more on the no side, conditions not right for life, even for microorganisms that can take extreme temperatures and harsh environment...best of all...no water, its all ice caps!

This is not a pure biology question. Should be bio-chemistry.

Yes it is possible. BUT are you sure its a single crystal. Was the growth or cooling rate the same? Are there other impurities, compounds, molecules etc in the crystal to cause it to change its structure?

Nope this is not possible. Although it would be nice, wouldn't it? No more expensive tests and laboratory procedures.... :-)

Hmmmm...interesting...I didn't think you could really do that experiment WITHOUT making a mess! :)  (And isn't mess-making, next to bang-making, one of the main attractions of chemistry?)  I guess you could point the bottle away from you, at an angle, pop the Mentos into it with your fingers, then pull your hand away really quickly.

Try doing a Google search under the Hall or the Hall-Heroult process.    That or check out a General or an Inorganic Chemistry book from the library.  That's a good launch point.

Mecury doesn't "lack one electron".  What you would need to do is remove one proton from mercury to make it into gold, in some kind of nuclear reaction.  Now, while not impossible in theory, I don't know of any nuclear pathway to do it, and it would no doubt be prohibitively expensive to do if there were.
