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
