Questions includes all the interesting and fully explained answers to some very common yet lesser known questions of science.
The fluidity of the plasma membrane is maintained by the lipids present in the membrane such as phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols. These lipids play a vital role in enhancing the flexibility and mechanical stability of the membrane. […]
The plant growth is influenced by a variety of external and internal factors. The former include light, temperature, water, nutrients etc. while the latter includes genetic and hormonal factors. […]
Auxins are powerful plant growth hormones (or plant growth regulators) produced by plants. They are found in the shoot and root tips and promote cell division, stem and root growth. Auxins are involved in phototropism, geotropism, hydrotropism and various other developmental changes. […]
There are over 100,000 species of fungi. Some of them are one-celled like the yeasts; others are complex like mushrooms and some of them are called imperfect fungi. Fungi are the major decomposers (besides bacteria) and some […]
Blue Green Algae also called as Cyanobacteria are one of the most successful organisms on this planet. Initially, they were classified Plantae, but later they were moved to the Monera Kingdom. […]
We can easily distinguish a living animal from a living plant in our surroundings. So, to keep it as simple as it was, Carolus Linnaeus classified all the organisms of the world into two Kingdoms i.e. Plantae and Animalia. But the grouping of such diverse organisms into only two kingdoms was not satisfactory to many biologists of that time. […]
A sudden increase in the organic and inorganic nutrient supply in an aquatic environment is termed as Eutrophication. Sewage and waste water from industries and agriculture serve as primary source of these nutrients. Eutrophication results in the death of fishes, and other marine animals. […]
Cell Specification is a process of distributing roles among different cells of an embryo. This process starts when cells are capable of differentiating autonomously in a neutral environment. Among, three basic modes of cell specification, most of the organisms prefer an amalgam of the two or three modes. […]
Protoplasm is the essence of life. We can refer to all the constituents of the cell collectively by the term Protoplasm. It shows all those activities that are characteristic of life. […]
Antitranspirants are the materials or chemicals which are capable of reducing the water loss from plant leaves. Almost 99 per cent of the water absorbed by the plant is lost in transpiration. Since water loss normally occurs through the stomatal pores in the leaves, anti-transpirants are usually foliar sprays. […]
