Forensic science students need to understand water because it plays a big role in analysing evidence like blood and other fluids at crime scenes. Water helps with testing methods and affects how evidence is collected and understood. It also impacts how things like DNA and proteins behave, which is important for accurate results. Knowledge of water is useful for investigating decomposition, environmental effects, and how evidence moves in criminal cases.

For Forensic Science students, understanding carbohydrates and their reactions is useful when examining samples from crime scenes. Investigations often need to identify body fluids or plant materials, which can depend on finding certain sugars or glycoproteins. Knowing about sugar types, how they break apart, and how they link together helps students read complex scientific data and make accurate decisions.

In forensic science, lipids can help solve crimes by showing what happened to a person or by identifying substances in body samples. Certain lipids can help find the cause of death or link people to crime scenes. Knowing about cholesterol and fatty acids helps students better understand and use evidence in investigations.

In forensic science, proteins help analyse evidence from things like blood, hair, and tissue. Methods such as gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry use differences in proteins to identify people or substances. Knowing about proteins helps forensic scientists understand and interpret evidence, including how it changes over time or if it gets contaminated, which is important for solving legal cases.

Forensic scientists study inorganic ions when investigating crimes. Ion patterns can help trace substances in people or the environment, which is important in solving cases. Correctly finding and measuring ions can reveal causes of death, drug use, or exposure to poisons. Knowing about ions helps forensic scientists understand lab results and provide scientific evidence in court.
