Physical chemistry
A physical chemist study
factors that effect breathing
rates during exercise
Organic chemistry
Athletes inhale chemicals
developed by organic chemist
to control symptoms of
asthma.
Analytical chemistry
Analytical chemist develop
test to detect chemicals in the
blood. The test help to show if
organs in the body are
working properly.
Biochemistry
A biochemist study how the
energy used for the
concentration of muscles is
produced and stored
Inorganic chemistry
An organic chemist explain
how a lack of calcium can
affect the growth and repair
of bones.
