Caramelization is what happens when sugar molecules break down under high heat, forming the sweet, nutty, and slightly bitter flavor compounds that define, well, caramel.
Smell starts when you sniff molecules from the air into your nostrils.
When odor molecules hit the back of your nose, they get stuck in a layer of mucus covering the olfactory epithelium.
All the material objects around you are composed of submicroscopic units we call molecules.
And molecules in turn are composed of individual atoms.
Molecules frequently break apart and then form new molecules.
In the first step in this process we pressurize the water and pass it through a reverse osmosis membrane: a thin, permeable plastic membrane that allows water molecules to pass through but traps and retains the salts, the viruses and the organic chemicals that might be present in the wastewater.
The capsaicin and piperine, found in black pepper and chili peppers, are made up of larger, heavier molecules called alkylamides, and those mostly stay in your mouth.
Mustard, horseradish, and wasabi are made up of smaller molecules, called isothiocyanates, that easily float up into your sinuses.
That glucose is then transformed into more complex organic molecules to form leaves, stems, roots, fruit, and so on.
The energy stored in these organic molecules supports the food chains with which we're familiar.
A woman's nose is particularly attuned to MHC molecules, which are used to fight disease.
When a study asked women to smell T-shirts that had been worn by different men, they preferred the odors of those whose MHC molecules differed from theirs.
Earth's infrared radiation would escape to space if there weren't greenhouse gas molecules in our atmophere.
They provide the right amount of energy to shift the gas molecules into their higher energy level.
One of the things that they do, one of their miraculous feats, is they produce lots of these fluorescent proteins, fluorescent molecules.
Not only does it take a lot of energy to make the necessary molecules, but it takes even more to get them where they need to be.
The universal phenomenon of entropy means that molecules will tend towards diffusing randomly, moving from areas of high concentration to low concentration, or even breaking apart into smaller molecules and atoms.
So cells must constantly keep entropy in check by using energy to maintain their molecules in the very complicated formations necessary for biological functions to occur.
Even if all of a person's cellular processes had already broken down, this could still conceivably be reversed by a swarm of nanobots, moving all the molecules back to their proper positions, and injecting all of the cells with ATP at the same time, presumably causing the body to simply pick up where it left off.
And unlike our clumsy way of breathing in and out through the same passage, dogs exhale through slits at the side of their nose, creating swirls of air that help draw in new odor molecules and allow odor concentration to build up over mulitple sniffs.
In order to absorb nutrients through their cell membranes, they must break down the organic matter into much smaller molecules.
What thermal energy does to the eggs' molecules, mechanical energy can undo.
The space between the two bones is filled with a viscous liquid, synovial fluid, which contains long, lubricating molecules, like hyaluronic acid and lubricin.
But the reason it's important for knuckle cracking is that, like other fluids in your body, it contains lots of dissolved gas molecules.
That energy is released during digestion, and stored in other molecules that can be broken down to provide energy when the body needs it.
In response, the injured cells release inflammatory molecules called cytokines that activate the immune system to repair the injury.
First of all, carbohydrate is the nutritional category for sugars and molecules that your body breaks down to make sugars.
In starches, which plants mostly store for energy in roots and seeds, glucose molecules are joined together by alpha linkages, most of which can be easily cleaved by enzymes in your digestive tract.
But in fiber, the bonds between monosaccharide molecules are beta bonds, which your body can't break down.
