A)    This is a biochemist - a scientist who studies the chemicals in animals and other living things. B)    A "fume" or safety hood protects people from unsafe chemicals. C)    Beakers and flasks are used to mix and measure chemicals. Test tubes hold small amounts of chemicals for use in an experiment. D)    Cells from frog eggs are one example of tissue studied in a culture. E)    Dry ice is much colder than regular ice.
