Menstrual Cycle Definition The menstrual cycle is the process of discharge of blood and other things from the vagina of a woman every month from puberty to menopause excluding pregnancy. It is a natural periodical process that brings changes in the female reproductive system which is responsible for the pregnancy. It includes changes that occur … Read more Menstrual Cycle- definition, hormones, phases, diagram
Serial dilution Definition Serial dilution, as the name suggests, is a series of sequential dilutions that are performed to convert a dense solution into a more usable concentration. In simple words, serial dilution is the process of stepwise dilution of a solution with an associated dilution factor. In biology, serial dilution is often associated with … Read more Serial dilution- definition, formula, calculator, procedure, uses
Simple diffusion definition Simple diffusion is a type of passive transport which, as the name suggests, is simply the movement of solute which occurs when its electrochemical potentials on the two sides of a permeable barrier are different. While in other science disciplines like chemistry, diffusion refers to “spreading out” of molecules from a higher … Read more Simple diffusion- definition, principle, examples, applications
Fusarium is a large group of filamentous fungi belonging to the hyphomycetes. Commonly distributed widely in the soil they are saprophytic fungi known to associate with plants, causing a wide range of plant diseases. This is because of their ability to produce mycotoxins especially in cereal crops, which can cause disease in human and animal … Read more Fusarium spp
Differences between Acid and Base Image Source: Pinterest Basis Acid Base Arrhenius concept An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ion (H+) as the only positive ion when mixed with water. A base is a substance that produces hydroxyl ion (OH–) as the only negative ion when mixed with water. Bronsted-Lowry Concept An acid … Read more 16 Differences between Acid and Base (Acid vs Base)
Speciation Definition Speciation is the process of formation of a new genetically independent group of organisms, called species, through the course of evolution. The process of splitting of genetically homogenous population into two or more populations that undergo genetic differentiation and eventual reproductive isolation is called speciation. The entire course of evolution depends upon the … Read more Speciation- definition, causes, process, types, examples
What are ketones? Chemically, ketones are the organic compounds containing carbon, oxygen various carbon-containing substituents. Ketones consist of a carbonyl (C=O) functional group. In our body, ketones are the metabolic end products of fatty acid metabolism. What are ketone bodies? Ketone bodies are the water-soluble particles formed in the liver when the acetyl-CoA formed in the … Read more Ketones in urine (ketonuria) and Ketones in urine test
Transposable elements definition Transposable elements (TE) or transposons can be defined as small, mobile DNA sequences that move around chromosomes with no regard for homology, and insertion of these elements may produce deletions, inversions, chromosomal fusions, and even more complicated rearrangements. Transposons are mobile genetic elements that often carry an antimicrobial resistance gene. These elements … Read more Transposable elements- definition, types, examples, applications
Facilitated diffusion definition Facilitated diffusion is the process of biological transport in which specific structural components of biological membranes interact with particular solutes or classes of solutes, markedly increasing the rates at which they can cross the membrane. It is a passive-mediated transport in which particles or substances are transported across a biological membrane from … Read more Facilitated Diffusion- definition, principle, factors, examples
