Chemical science, also known as chemistry, is the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances. This field is fundamental to understanding the world around us, as it deals with the behavior of atoms and compounds, interactions between different types of matter, and the creation of new types of materials and substances.

Contextualism is a philosophical approach that emphasizes the relevance of context or environment in understanding various phenomena, such as language, behavior, knowledge and culture. It asserts that meaning and truth can vary under different circumstances or contexts and that theres no definite or absolute truth that can be applied universally. It is often used in fields like sociology, anthropology, ethics, and epistemology.

A nonprofit organization (NPO) or non-profit organisation, also known as a non-business entity, not-for-profit organization, or nonprofit institution, is a legal entity organized and operated for a collective, public or social benefit, in contrary with an entity that operates as a business aiming to generate a profit for its owners. A nonprofit is subject to the non-distribution constraint: any revenues that exceed expenses must be committed to the organizations purpose, not taken by private parties. An array of organizations are nonprofit, including some political organizations, schools, business associations, churches, social clubs, and consumer cooperatives. Nonprofit entities may seek approval from governments to be tax-exempt, and some may also qualify to receive tax-deductible contributions, but an entity may incorporate as a nonprofit entity without securing tax-exempt status.
Key aspects of nonprofits are accountability, trustworthiness, honesty, and openness to every person who has invested time, money, and faith into the organization. Nonprofit organizations are accountable to the donors, founders, volunteers, program recipients, and the public community. Theoretically, for a nonprofit that seeks to finance its operations through donations, public confidence is a factor in the amount of money that a nonprofit organization is able to raise. Supposedly, the more nonprofits focus on their mission, the more public confidence they will have. This will result in more money for the organization. The activities a nonprofit is partaking in can help build the publics confidence in nonprofits, as well as how ethical the standards and practices are.

Cytochrome C is a small heme protein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. It is a component of the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, where it accepts electrons from the b-type cytochromes and transfers them to cytochrome oxidase.
