Biology

A great diversity of species has developed on Earth throughout millions of years, and many previous efforts to categorize them have been undertaken. Small insects to large trees to vividly colourful flowers or birds are among the living forms surrounding us. The notion of biological categorization was proposed for ease of research and identification, but

Polysaccharides are macromolecules, without sweetness, insoluble or slightly soluble in water, non crystalline, made up of many monosaccharides, general formula is Cx(H2O)y, non reducing type carbohydrates. Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides and they function chiefly as food and energy storage in the form of starch and glycogen and structural materials e.g., cellulose. They are convenient

The alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, often known as groups 1 and 2, are located in the s-block of the periodic table of elements. Helium is also classified as an element of the s block. The s orbital is filled by the fundamental quantum number “n.” The s orbital can hold a maximum of

Binomial nomenclature is a binomial naming system for organisms or species. A binomial name means that it has two parts. These two parts are the generic name (genus name) and the specific name, also known as a specific epithet. These names form part of the botanical nomenclature. In short, it is a type of two-term

The assigning of distinct names to each species is known as nomenclature.In different places around the world, plants and animals are known by specific names. In addition, people from different states/regions in the same country may use different names to refer to the same species.  For instance, Ipomoea batatas (sweet potato) is known in Hindi

Helicotylenchus (Tylenchida: Hoplolaimidae) are coiled worms known as spiral nematodes. They’re worldwide and related with plant roots. Most are ectoparasites and feed on root epidermis, whereas some reside half-buried in root tissues. Many species’ damage potential is unknown, however some are global and affect plant growth and yield. Thorsteinson believed that insect host selection is

The word pome first appeared in English in the late 14th century and was used to refer to an apple or an object in the shape of an apple. In turn, it derives from the Old French word for “apple”. Pome is an accessory fruit that consists of one or more carpels that are surrounded
