Properties of Lipids

Lipids are classified as those organic compounds which do not interact with water. Most substances made of lipids will not be miscible with water. The study of the function and structure of lipids constitutes a sizable part of the study of organic compounds because they make up substances like oils, fats, wax, membranes, and energy-storing […]

Porifera

The Phylum Porifera is the only categorization system for aquatic species. It has a sponge-like structure and belongs to the Animalia kingdom. Because it is a multicellular creature, the cells are organised symmetrically or asymmetrically at random. The sponge is the common term for these creatures. So far, we’ve discovered over 5000 species in various

Plastids

A plastid is defined as a membrane-bound organelle (part of an organism that carries out one or more functions) found in the cells of plants and related organisms. While plastids were discovered by Ernst Haeckel, who also coined their name, they were put into a better perspective and defined by A.F.W Schimper. The primary plastids

Plant Cell and Animal Cell

Introduction Cells are the “building blocks of life”. The term “cell” is derived from the Latin word ‘Cellula’ which means ‘small compartments or rooms.’ Every living organism consists of cells that collectively make up tissues in the body. Plant cells and Animal cells are composed of several other organelles and  cellular processes and that is

Phylum Chordata

The phylum family comprises the variable species with different habitats. Many of them follow the ground-level living style, and some depend on their host to reach their adult stage. A wide range in this family finds their special livelihood in marine life. The species of the phylum may depend either on freshwater or salty seawater.

Phylum

The taxonomic ranking of phylum is the third level of classification in the hierarchy of classification, following domain and kingdom. Organisational phyla are groups of organisms that share a set of characteristics that distinguish them from organisms belonging to other phyla. Since the beginning of scientific history, the characteristics that distinguish animals from one another

Lyophilic colloid coagulation

Composition and Coagulation of Lyophilic Sols Coagulation is the process of colloidal particles aggregating or accumulating to form a precipitate. Metals, their sulphides, and other substances cannot simply be mixed with the dispersion medium to generate a colloidal solution. Their colloidal solutions are created using some unique techniques. Lyophobic sols are a type of lyophobic

Locomotion

Movement is one of the most distinguishing characteristics of living things. All living things, including animals and plants, have a variety of movements. When it comes to unicellular organisms such as Amoeba, protoplasm streaming is a straightforward mode of movement. Movement of cilia, flagella, and tentacles is demonstrated by a wide variety of organisms. Human

Lichens: Structure, Types and Uses

A lichen is not a single organism. It is actually a mixture of a specific fungus with a blue-green or green alga or cyanobacterium. They are found in a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship. The combination of an alga with a fungus creates lichen. The fungus is the main component of lichen. The fungus absorbs water

Parts of the Embryonal axis

The Embryonal axis is divided into two major sections: The section of the embryonal axis above the level of the cotyledons that terminates in a stem tip or plumule is referred to as the epicotyl. It is the cylindrical section of a plant’s root system below the level of its cotyledons, which finishes in the
