There are different types of immune cells in the body like Lymphocytes Monocytes and macrophages Basophils Neutrophils Eosinophils The cells of the immune system attack the disease-causing agents like microorganisms, parasites and prevent infections. Some of the cells work by neutralization of foreign material. While others eat and destroy the disease-causing microbes. But few of […]

Ribosomes function is primarily limited to protein synthesis in the cells. But they also act as targets for few drugs in the treatment of diseases. Ribosomes are complex structures having two sub units. One subunit is larger one while the other one is smaller in size. Chemically they are a combination of ribonucleic acid with […]

There is a wide range of career opportunities for people who choose to study a genetics program in their higher education studies. Some career opportunities include healthcare scientists, pharmacologists, clinical research, research scientist, and geneticist. Because of this, many people are trying to research what the best schools are to study genetics. Most undergraduate programs […]

Importance of lysosomes is not limited to cell death alone. As we know, lysosomes are the cell organelles which act as storehouses of catalytic enzymes. Many hydrolytic lysosomal enzymes enclosed in the membranous organelle. The lysosomes are primarily involved in digestion, cell death, repair, defense and also growth. The hydrolytic enzymes are enclosed inside the […]

Lysosomes are the membrane organelles present in both plant cells and animal cells. They are also present in protozoa but absent in the bacteria. Instead, a periplasmatic space in between cell wall and cell membrane play the role similar to lysosomes. Lysosomes are present near to the cell membrane or even attached it. They have […]

Plant cell parts are almost similar to animal cells with few exceptions and functional differences These plant cells are eukaryotic cells The plant cell is rigid and hard than the animal cells. Further, plant cells are green in color due to the presence of special pigments which aid in photosynthesis. Though there are many similarities, […]

Plants are the primitive forms of living beings on the earth. They are supportive to all other forms of living beings on the earth. Plants are present on the land, in the waters of rivers and oceans. They grow where ever possible and withstand even natural calamities. Hence, we can notice plants growing on the […]

A substrate is substance on which enzymes acts to covert into a product. For many enzymes, there is only one specific substrate. But most enzymes have two or more substrates. A substrate is very specific for an enzyme to catalyze the reaction. It means a substrate can be broken down in presence of that specific […]

Chromosomes are DNA molecules containing part or whole genome of an organism.. They are present in the nucleus of the cell. Chromosomes mostly have two bands separated by a centromere. One can differentiate types of chromosomes based on their morphology, function and other differences. Types of chromosomes Based on the position of the centromere, chromosomes […]
