Ingestion - The Way of Taking Food In continuing everyday activity, each living being requires energy that can be extracted only from food. In having food, ... Read More

Introduction Bio productivity in the environment is connected to the ecological system. At each trophic level, the range and characteristics of these productivities change uniformly. Ecological pyramids are the most effective graphical presentation which is used in giving a clear presentation of the biomass and most importantly bio-productivity. The basic and core concept of an ecological pyramid was presented by Raymond Lindeman and Evylen Hutchinson. With the help of these ecological pyramids, scientists are also said about the power supply process from body to body. This system helps to know about the ecological balance and bio productivity. What is an ... Read More

Introduction A reproduction system refers to the procedure of producing new species for the parental generation. Plant reproduction deals with the procedure that states the different processes of production of plants. It deals with the inherent features of most living organisms for the continuation in maintaining the reproduction mechanism. Sexual reproduction creates offspring which can be identified genetically with each other. Asexual reproduction refers to the creation of offspring, which can be genetically distinct from each other. Plant reproduction system is very important for the environment to balance the ecosystem of society. It also becomes very helpful for animals who ... Read More

Introduction Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B are the two most important types of chlorophyll present in plants and green algae. Both of them play a very crucial role in the process of photosynthesis. They are present in chloroplasts and try to work together with the integral membrane proteins, that are present in the thylakoid membrane. The most important difference between Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B lies in their role in the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll A plays the role of a principal pigment in photosynthesis, whereas chlorophyll B' plays the role of an accessory pigment, which collects energy to merge ... Read More

Introduction The entire nervous system of the human body is controlled by the brain that is the main part of the human body. The brain captured every piece of information sent by the sensory organs of the human body. After that, the collected vital information is returned to the muscles of the human body. There are three parts in the brain of the human body. They are forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Cerebellum and cerebrum are the two parts situated into those parts which have so many differences. Every action of these two parts of the brain is so vital and ... Read More

Introduction Cereals fall under the category of grains as they have a high content of carbohydrates present in them. They are grown in most countries and a large number of cereals are being consumed by most living organisms along with humans. They are also grown in other developing countries such as India in the form of grains. Pulses are also categorized under the same category. Pulses are not grown in large quantities in most countries but still, they are rich in various food nutrients. What are Cereals? Cereals are mainly categorized under the category of edible components of grass. A ... Read More

Introduction Arthropods which are known as part of Phylum Arthropoda it is recognised to be one of the biggest phylum in the animal kingdom.

This has many types of forms such as crabs, centipedes, insects, lobsters, spiders and millipedes are one of them. The breed of Arthropods found in the natural environment such as in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In the part of grouping of these breeds, centipedes are the part of Chilopoda, whereas Millipedes is ... Read More

Introduction The plasma membrane is present in every cell as a phospholipid membrane. The cell membrane works as a thin layer that makes a difference between the external and internal parts of the cell. The membrane of plasma protects protoplasm from any obstacles in any part of the cell. The membrane of the cell helps to make the proper shape of every cell. Cell Membrane and its Structure The membrane of a cell is made with a mixture of lipids and proteins. The membrane creates an obstruction for the external and internal parts of the cell. The membrane is made ... Read More

Introduction Scientist Robert Hooke first discovered cells in the year 1665. He used a bottle cork and observed it under his compound microscope. He found minuscule structures that are similar to small rooms. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek once again observed cells but this time with a more excellent magnification microscope. He observed not only how it looks but also it moves and concluded it as a living entity. In 1883, Scottish scientist Robert Brown first provided its structure. Every tissue is made of cells and without cells, there will be no tissue. What are Cells? Every living organism is created by ... Read More

Introduction The genetic makeup of every individual is determined by the genes expressed in the body. Every trait of the body, like the eye color, height, complexion, facial features etc., is inherited from the parents to the offspring as coded by the DNA. The DNA is tightly packed around the proteins forming a thread-like compact structure called chromosomes. Human beings consist of 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes, meaning that the chromosomes in males or females remain the same regardless of the sex of the individual and one pair of sex chromosomes. Genes are the segment of DNA encoding a particular ... Read More
