"If you look at a steroid in its pure form you will see a crystalline powder, white or nearly white; but a proper definition goes deeper than that. The word steroid means like a sterol. Sterols are certain solid alcohols that are abundant in animals and plants; the major sterol in man and other vertebrates is cholesterol." (from Wikipedia). Very Good .

While we sometimes associate chemical reactions with the sterile environment of the test tube and the laboratory - nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, the colossal number of transformations make for a dizzying, almost incomprehensible array of new substances and energy changes that take place in our world every second of every day. In nature, chemical reactions can be much less controlled than you’ll find in the lab, sometimes far messier, and they generally occur whether you want them to or not! Whether it be a fire raging across a forest (Figure 1) , the slow process of iron rusting in the presence of oxygen and water over a period of years, or the delicate way in which fruit ripens on a tree, the process of converting one set of chemical substances (the reactants) to another set of substances (the products) is one known as a chemical reaction." (Visionlearning website) "A synthesis of advances in three major areas of atmospheric chemistry: ionospheric research, geochemistry of the troposphere and stratosphere, and photochemical reactions and resultant contamination."
