Introduction The process of biochemical reactions that usually occur within the body is very important for a person to lead a very healthy life. In this case, health is maintained by the secretion of different enzymes lying inside the body of a human being. This is the reason behind the fact that the enzymes operate in a proper way. Hence, coenzymes and cofactors play a significant role to keep a body healthy for a long period of time. These are the reactions that are formed to cater to the need for biochemical reactions in the body. Thus, they help the ... Read More

Introduction In animal and plant cells extended structures such as Cilia and Flagella are found that help in locomotion. Together with the process of locomotion, these extended structures contribute to the function that involves, circulation, respiration as well as excretion. Moreover, these are used by organisms for capturing food and also consist of proteins that involve, nexin, tubulin and respiration. What is Cilia? – Definition and Structure Cilia are a structure that is both microscopic and appears like short hair and is slender in nature. This structure is stated to grow all over the cell membrane that primarily supports ... Read More

Introduction The difference between chromosome and chromatid relates to the functionality in the material of generations and the cells that can be duplicated accordingly. The differentiation can be obtained with the Chromatids that are connected with the centromere. Additionally, the distinctions can be referred to as managed with the procedure where the DNA replication to the synthesis process can be observed. What is a Chromosome: Definition, Structure, and Characteristics Chromosome refers to the genetic material that holds all the features and traits of any organism. The word chromosome was extracted from the Greek word Chroma and Soma those have been ... Read More

Introduction Chromatin refers to a lower order in terms of DNA while chromosomes have a higher order in the organization process of DNA. Chromatin has a complex structure that is made up of DNA as well as proteins. It is mainly seen in the eukaryotic cell. A chromosome is mainly composed of the help of packaged proteins, and DNA along with exhibit genetic information. What is Chromatin: Structure and features Chromatin refers to a complex number of macromolecules that are composed of DNA, RNA, as well as protein. Its structure depends on the phases of the cycle of the cell ... Read More

Introduction Chordates and non-chordates are the classification of organisms that exhibits their respective features. The two categories of organisms are different from one another based on their morphological traits and their course of sustenance. These organisms are primarily differentiated based on the presence of notochord at any stage of their lives. There are, however, several other differences in their respective physical features. Chordates and Non-chordates: Overview The presence and absence of notochord is quite a crucial component in the formation of the taxonomy of animals. The notochord is nothing but a cartilage-like structure that appears like a rubbery rod. The ... Read More

Introduction The problems of diarrhea are limited to the stomach as the first symptom is the failure to hold the bowel syndrome for a little while.

Introduction The term diapause mainly refers to the development of an animal. The development is seen at a particular stage until the organism passes the unfavourable conditions. The significance of this stage is that it describes the decrease of metabolic activities of an organism. The stage is important for overcoming the conditions like extreme temperature. Overview of Diapause Diapause mainly defines as a state of physiology that relates to dormancy. It is also called the developmental arrest and in this state, most of the life processes are shut down. The initiation of this stage has happened when the condition is ... Read More

Introduction The crucial organs, the kidneys tend to get affected due to various reasons that concern from senility or underlying illness. However, if kidneys tend to fail to work properly then it may result in severe conditions for the affected individual leading to death. The process of dialysis supports individuals to survive.

Kidneys are stated crucial within the human body that are responsible for the elimination ... Read More

Introduction The cultivation of the fruit and treating them is known as the farming of the fruit. Fruits from the flowers and fruits consist of different types and numbers of seeds. Fruit processing can be described as the procedure that involves the processing of the fruit and the treatment of the nutrient composition. Fleshy fruits and non-fleshy are the two kinds of fruits that use different methods of dispersal. Importance of fruits The importance of fruits lies in the health benefits provided by them. They are wholesome foods that are rich in many kinds of nutrients. Rich in nutrients helps ... Read More

Introduction Diffusion is the biological process in which the molecules go from a higher to a relatively lower region. This is an essential process as it allows the motion of various molecules to go from one cell to another. Diffusion is an essential part because it provides cell the required energy. This energy and enables them to release the waste materials. What is Diffusion? Diffusion refers to the movement of individual molecules of a component from a high concentration to a low concentration area. Diffusion provides the movement of every molecule. It is important both in the plants and animals. ... Read More
