How does the blood stay in their veins instead of burning up
Other urls found in this thread:
Their blood is acid, it's part of their biology, think of it this way, imagine if we met aliens that were made of phosphorous and we bled on them, same deal
the same way lava stays in a volcano
maybe it only becomes volatile when exposed to air
Uh change phosphorous with potassium, yeah
The same way that oxygen doesn't blow up in our veins.
How does the acid stay in our stomachs instead of melting it?
I DON'T KNOW
Our stomach contains hcl so it's possible
the veins are also acid so they cancel each other
Alot of the times it doesn't though. That's why it's a volcano.
Your stomach regrows faster than it's burned away.
Stomach acid only has a pH of 8.5 not that acidic, you could pour that on your hand and you'd be fine, just a mild irritant
>stomach acid is basal
nu-Sup Forums gentlemen
presumably they developed a biology that allows for it over the course of their evolution
If the stomach is 8.5 imagine what pure water could go to our insides
The movies mention this.
no it's acidic
Where?
>acid
>8.5
kek
Stomach acid is around a p.H of 1.5, which is quite corrosive, especially if it's inside you all the time, moron. It doesn't burn through because there is a layer of mucus protecting you.
8.5 pH is basal
in the movie
So they dissolve if they get a cut? Their circulatory system is exposed to air.
>pH of 8.5
>acid
bruh
Acid doesn't cancel acid dummy
They have cum coated veins.
you could say their veins are pretty based
mucus
I wanna FUCK a xenomorph
AVP
he makes a shield out of the head.
They are "immune" to their own blood
their body is not effected by it.
Silicium based bodies instead of carbon.
yeah guess that mucus membrane we have lining our stomachs is useless lmfao
that's nothing to do with the acid "activating" on contact with air
Why did water kill it on 3 but on Resurrection they were swimming in the pool?
isnt acid simply a large concentration of free hydrogen ions? As long as you avoided contact with anything that could react with that, it wouldn't do anything, like holding it in a glass beaker
also it's the movie's story that their 'blood' is acid, but it's far more likely that it's simply a defense mechanism being kept in pockets throughout their body, so any vicious predator would destroy themselves by piercing the tissue
it wasn't the water itself but rather the rapid heating and cooling
the blood becomes acidic when it make air contact
Ah yes there was some other pool of liquid metal and shit first, then water.
What would you do to it?
stomach acid does burn, what do you think heartburn and indigestion are caused by. also bullimia causes teeth to fall out and damage to the throat from excessive contact with stomach acid in vomit
>stomach acid
>1.5 - 3.5 acidity

This is why you NEVER take advice or Sup Forums seriously.
heh
I imagine they work like insects and have no veins or arteries, but use an open circulatory system.
Xenomorphs have glass veins. Think about it.
thats why i only drink Mtn Dew
Quote about the facehugger. Probably can be applied ot the Alien as well?
"Ash: Well, as I said, I'm still... collating, actually, but uh, I have confirmed that he's got an outer layer of protein polysaccharides. Has a funny habit of shedding his cells and replacing them with polarized silicon, which gives him a prolonged resistance to adverse environmental conditions. Is that enough? "
so does the aliens acidic substance, from its mouth.
>protein polysaccharides
polysaccharides are specifically composed of carbohydrates
>so does the aliens acidic substance, from its mouth.
The xenomorph's drool is not acidic, at least not in 1-3 it wasn't.
there is a layer of slime on top of the stomach's mucous membrane that shields it.
>tfw chemist reading like every post in this thread
stick to what you know, Sup Forums
Could our blood kill anything chemistanon?
Each other, it's called HIV
No I mean melt them. Like on contact.
>the Alien is supposed to symbolize a homosexual
oh, NOW i get it!
hypothetically, sure; it's large differences in pH that cause appreciable acid-base reactions. strong bases are just as bad for your health as strong acids
