Our body needs constant energy supply to function smoothly. You might have studied earlier that it is the mitochondria fulfil this job. But, do you know how these powerhouse works to generate non-stop energy? Here, in this blog, I’m going to answer how mitochondria produce energy by the means of respiration and Krebs cycle. Have, […]
Mitochondria are the most vital cell organelles that play crucial functions like production of energy (adenosine triphosphate (ATP), cell death, calcium signalling, and synthesis of “heme” molecules. In this blog post, I’m going to provide a simple account of mitochondria the powerhouse of the Cell. These tiny, double-membraned organelles play a vital role in the
Imagine a world without the ability to move, jump, run, or even give a warm hug. Our bodies owe their mobility to the incredible teamwork of tendons, ligaments, cartilage and muscles. In this blog post, I’m going to explain the difference between tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and muscles The Essential Role of Tendons Tendons are the
Limbic system parts hypothalamus, epithalamus, and thalamus, and hippocampus are present in forebrain of central nervous system. The major function of this limbic system are emotional reactions, motivational drives, and memory. In this article, I’m going to explain limbic system parts hypothalamus, epithalamus, thalamus, and hippocampus in details. In the last article, I have discussed
Hypothalamus, epithalamus, thalamus, and hippocampus Read More »
Neurons or nerve cells are the basic structural and functional units of nervous system. Neuron does everything including information processing, receiving, and sending throughout the body in the form of neurotransmitters. The whole nervous system is made of these neurons or nerve cells. Hence, understanding anatomical structure and function of neurons or nerve cells is
Anatomical structure and function of neurons or nerve cells Read More »
Control and coordination mechanism in living organisms is determined by the complex system of neurons or nerves called nervous system. Nervous system is divided into central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. In this blog, I’m going to explain parts of central nervous system. Unicellular vs multicellular organisms nervous system The basic difference between unicellular
Tissues are group of similar types of cell to perform specialised function. Animal tissues are different from plant tissues as animals need to move from one place to another in search of food, shelter and reproduction. While plants are stationary and needs to stay upright. Let’s find out difference between plants and animal tissues. First
Cells are tiny building blocks of life hold incredible secrets and are responsible for the functioning of every living organism on this planet. In this blog post, we will explore the structure of cells, the major types of cells, their functions, and the amazing organelles that make them tick. The cell as unit is a
Food chain is characterized by cyclic flow of energy from autotrophs to decomposers via herbivores and carnivores trophic levels. In each ecosystem, the process of decomposition is as much important as the photosynthesis. Organisms which involve in the process of decaying of dead materials are called decomposer. Here, I’m going to differentiate two classes of
Both are biochemical processes widely known for maintaining energy flow in cyclic manner. Photosynthesis is an anabolic; whereas, respiration is catabolic in which complex molecules subject to break down in simpler form. For detail, let’s find out photosynthesis Vs respiration differences. Understanding photosynthesis vs respiration process In the layman’s language, it is a food manufacturing
