Watch what happens to Germs when you wash your hands with Soap at microscopic level. 🔬 The Soap molecules surround germ cells and disrupt their cell walls, causing them to burst.
Germ cells are surrounded by a cell wall that protects them from the environment. This cell wall is made up of a layer of peptidoglycan, which is a polymer of amino acids and sugars. Soap molecules are made up of two parts: a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail and a hydrophilic (water-loving) head. When soap is added to water, the hydrophobic tails group together and the hydrophilic heads face outward, forming micelles. These micelles can surround germ cells and the hydrophobic tails can then disrupt the cell walls, causing the cells to burst.
The hydrophobic tails of the soap molecules can disrupt the cell wall in two ways. First, they can bind to the peptidoglycan molecules and weaken the bonds between them. Second, they can create holes in the cell wall. Once the cell wall is disrupted, the germ cells lose their internal contents and die.
It is important to note that soap only works to kill germ cells that are surrounded by a cell wall. Germ cells that do not have a cell wall, such as viruses, are not affected by soap.
The size of the soap micelles is important. Micelles that are too small will not be able to surround the germ cells. Micelles that are too large will not be able to penetrate the cell walls.
The concentration of soap is also important. A higher concentration of soap will be more effective at killing germ cells.
The temperature of the water can also affect the effectiveness of soap. Soap is more effective at killing germ cells in warm water than in cold water.
I hope this post has helped you understand the importance of handwashing and why doctors always ask you to do it regularly. Washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs and stay healthy. So please, wash your hands often and help keep yourself and others safe!
Thank you for reading this post. I hope you found it informative and helpful. Please share it with your friends and family so they can learn about the importance of handwashing too. 😊🙏
I have an idea for a tfa self insert/oc her name is Ms. Veena Micel (pronounced mee-KEL) and she works at Sumdac in a very high position but hates her job. She has a aloof personality but deep down cares about her workers even if she doesn't always show it.
So her theme color is and I see her/my self wearing these white suits.
But in battle we wear these padded suits with cybernetic plating on top.
And because of our fierce personality we're referred to as the Dragon Queen. We use a spear bc fuck yeah
So like you know how sentinel has a "Knight in shining armor" motif but acts the opposite? Well Micel is the fearsome dragon but is actually fairly kind she's just embittered by all the selfishness that goes on in the world. They're literally opposites lol
I got inspo from Li Wen Shao (Pacific Rim), Helena Douglas and Mel Medarda for the basis and then my own personal experiences working three different jobs lmao
Took a chance and tried a new eyeliner I hadn't used before because the drugstore didn't have my usual and it's a gel pencil, says waterproof, but I was skeptical because everything manages to smudge anyway. My eyes water a lot for no reason. BUT this shit hasn't budged and my eyes have been watering bad for like an hour. I'm impressed. I think I have a new favourite.
