Treatment involves administering pure oxygen to displace CO. Additionally, it explains the concept of the equilibrium constant (Keq), which quantifies the ratio of product to reactant concentrations in chemical reactions at equilibrium, a value determined experimentally and dependent on temperature.

It highlights the role of nucleic acids, discovered by Friedrich Miescher, which are large biopolymers made of nucleotides. DNA is essential for storing genetic information necessary for protein production, while RNA helps translate that information into proteins.
