Improvement in Food Production

Introduction All living organisms require food to survive on Earth. Living organisms require the consumption of food to perform various activities. This shows that food production has immense importance for humans for their existence. To satisfy the hunger needs of a rapidly growing human population, constant improvement in food production is required. But, what exactly […]

Human Welfare: Microbes

Even under extreme conditions, microbes are found all over the world. They are viruses, viroids, prions, fungi, protozoa, bacteria and other microscopic animals. They can be potentially fatal, but they have an important role in human welfare. You can grow microbes in laboratories and at large scale industrial scales for research purposes or production of

Oligosaccharides

Between the simple sugars (monosaccharides) and starches, oligosaccharides are a form of carbohydrate (polysaccharides). Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates which function as prebiotics, giving healthy bacteria in the stomach something to eat. Oligosaccharides Oligosaccharide is a saccharide with 2 to 10 identical or distinct monosaccharide units joined by a glycosidic bond. It is also described as oligose, straight

Herpes

A direct interaction with an infected person causes HSV to spread. In some cases, no symptoms are present. Those who are infected with the virus develop sores at the place where the virus entered the body. Their appearance is that of blisters that develop into itchy, painful sores that eventually heal.The majority of people have

Notes on Derived Lipids

Derived lipids come under the category of lipids. Derived lipids are chemical originated components present in the body of plants and animals. They are utilised in other biochemical reactions to produce other essential substances, such as sterols, bile juices, etc. It is made up of a combination of both simple and compound lipids. Let us

Harmful Microorganisms

Microorganisms are microscopic organisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye. A microscope is usually used to examine them. Microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, and certain molds. The majority of microbes are required for life on Earth. Some of them, however, are toxic to humans, animals, and plants and can cause sickness. Microorganisms are dangerous

Harmful Bacterium

Only a few bacteria have been identified as having the ability to cause illness. Pathogenic bacteria are microorganisms that can cause disease. Bacteria must enter the cells of a live organism to cause infection. Most bacteria won’t damage another living thing, and human immune systems render many more germs harmless, while some, like gut bacteria,

Nine Rights of Medication

Medication is the treatment with drugs or remedies. Drug-like properties, like solubility, permeability, metabolic soundness, and carrier effects, are of critical importance for the outcome of drug applicants. They are usually broadly classified into over-the-counter, complementary, and prescribed medicines. To guarantee the best medication organisation, doctors and nurses are advised to follow the nine rights

Mood stabilization

Mood stabilisers can take several weeks to fully work. As a result, in the early stages of treatment, other psychiatric medications, such as antipsychotics, are frequently used to treat acute mania. It can be difficult to distinguish bipolar depression from other types of depression. Antidepressant medications can be beneficial, but they should never be used

Molisch’s test

Molisch test is mainly a group test for all carbohydrates, that can be either free or bound to proteins or lipids. It is a very sensitive test and requires precision for the detection of carbohydrates. It is a colorimetric method that is used for the analysis of the presence of carbohydrates in a given analyte. The test was named
