PHP is widely used, free and efficient alternative to competitors such as Microsoft’s ASP. PHP was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 and is now produced by the PHP group. PHP code may be … Read more
What Is Glycolysis? Glycolysis also referred to as cytoplasmic pathway, takes place in the cytosol of the cell’s cytoplasm and is the first step in breakdown of glucose (C6H12O6) to extract energy for cellular metabolism to produce energy in the form of ATP. Through two distinct phases, the six-carbon ring of glucose is split into … Read more
Bony fish and cartilaginous fish represent two classes within the vertebrate kingdom, each characterized by unique anatomical features and evolutionary adaptations. Both groups inhabit aquatic environments. In simple terms, a bony fish (Osteichthyes) is one whose skeleton is made of bone, while a cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes) has a skeleton made of soft, flexible cartilage. A third type of fish, … Read more
Aerobic and anaerobic respiration are the two common types of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions that take place in cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. Many cells can perform either aerobic or anaerobic respiration, depending on whether oxygen … Read more
Sexual Reproduction Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction where organisms are created by combining the genetic information from two individuals of different sexes. The genetic information is carried on chromosomes within the nucleus of specialized sex cells referred to as gametes. In males, these gamates are referred to as sperm and in females the … Read more
Cold-blooded Animals (Poikilotherms/Ectotherms) Cold–blooded animals can also be referred to as ectotherms or poikilotherms. These are animals that lack an internal physiological mechanism to regulate their body temperatures internally; therefore, their temperature is not constant and varies according to the temperature of the surrounding environment. In hot environments, their blood can get much warmer than … Read more
Polymorphism means ability to take more than one form. Polymorphism is considered as one of the important features of Object Oriented Programming. In C++ polymorphism is mainly categorized into two types, Compile time polymorphism (Static) or (Dynamic) Runtime polymorphism. In dynamic polymorphism, the response to a function is determined at the run-time whereas in static … Read more
What Is Amine? In organic chemistry, amines are compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Amines are formally derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group. Sometimes amines in which both types of substituent are … Read more
What is Pollination? Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the male (anther) of a flower to the female part (stigma) of the same or different flower. Pollen grains contain the male gametes and are present in the anthers of the flower. Pollination is usually the first process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants. There … Read more
What Is A Travelling Wave Tube? A travelling wave tube (TWT) is a specialized vacuum tube that is used in electronics to amplify radio frequency (RF) signals in the microwave range. The TWT belongs to a category of ‘’linear beam’’ tubes, such as the Klystron, in which the radio wave is amplified by absorbing power … Read more
