Chemistry- 3
One of our classmate asked this: What's the difference between bio-hazardous and poisonous? 
Ans: biohazard- a hazardous substance that may hurt/kill you that is made by living organisms (eg. blood, semen, mucous, bacteria, viruses)
 poison- substances that cause disturbances in organisms. (eg. cyanide) cyanide can kill you by inhibiting the synthesis of ATP in the mitochonrial matrix. When no ATP is made you have no energy to perform any actions including the pumping of your heart as your body solely relies on ATP for power. Fats, sugars, or proteins cannot run your body. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
