YT2095 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hygeine, protective clothing(s), many alcohols help combat bacteria and oxidising agents. as for AFTER contamination, then you`re White blood cells should do all the work for you, a reasonable state of health is often adequate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 what do you mean by oxidising agents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 halogen compounds for example; tincture of Iodine, ChlorOx. Oxidisers like Hydrogen Peroxide are also effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I think he wants to know what an oxidising agent does. Gene, it would help if we knew what you needed the info for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 i need the info for my hw stuff. Questions from TYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 P.s. i posted it on the wrong place. So this is under the correct topic. Sorry.... It is because my textbook has no related answers. And i could think a few from common sense. But i still think some are not right or "scientific" enough. Can i ask you guys something? When you guys are in sch (if you are now too) probably during high school, whenever you do Hw, do you copy the answers from the txtbk? Cause, in singapore, most of the students here do. (well, maybe those in my school.) Because i ffel that it is not a really right thing to do alothough i got immune to it. :x Our tachers don't say anything about it anyway... so i have really no idea. Cause copying from txtbk is like getting the perfect answer. EEEee.... Another problem, whenever exams come, when i do revision or study for the exams. i tend to memorise model answers. I don't know whether is this the right thing to do or not. Cause there is just too many information.Sorry this kiinda of off the topic. But, i just wanna know. WHat can i do? Is it normal????????

YT2095 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 it coagulates the proteins in it, much in the same way heating does. egg albumen goes white on heating, that`s the proteins being coagulated, the same happens with blood, hence Sushi or sashimi (raw fish) isn`t actualy raw, it`s cooked by the acids in lemon juice or ricewine etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 oxidising agents coagulated bacteria is it? Clumping them all together do that they can be easily ingested by phagocyctes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 well the term "oxidising agent" is more of a job description for things like disinfectants and so forth. the majority work by coagulating the proteins in the bacterium. as for what exactly happens in the body after infection is really someone like Gliders area, all I know is that white blood cells identify an invader and attack it.
