a: Chlorophyll ~
b: blood or blood transfussion
What: Well, NO it's NOT. This association is all over the web for some reason. Lots of people hawking this remedy or that remedy. In structure there is a homology between the molecular ring in both. But in chlorophyll there is a magnesium atom bound in the center of this ring. In hemoglobin there is an iron atom bound in the center of this ring. There functions are completely different. The chlorophyll pigment absorbs light energy and uses it to create high energy electrons for use in photosynthesis. The iron in the heme, which is part of hemoglobin, is an oxygen transport protein in mammals. There may be some nutritional value in eating plant extracts, but don't go too far with this analogy. It doesn't make sense.

This One Just Feels Right......
a: organelles ~
b: pieces of fruit in Jell-O
What:
"I researched how cells die when acid comes in contact with the cell membrane. I found that acid lowers the pH of the cytosol. Cytosol is the liquid of the cytoplasm, and the organelles make up the rest of the cytoplasm. So, cytoplasm is like Jell-O salad, where the organelles are like pieces of fruit, and the cytosol is the Jell-O itself. The acid causes the proteins in the cell membrane to open up, or "unfold," which means they fall out of their usual coiled shape – like a spring that is losing its shape. This process is called denaturation."
