Myopia also referred to as Nearsightedness is a common vision in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of the eyes causes light rays to bend (refract) incorrectly, focusing image in front of the retina instead of at the center of retina. … Read more
Von Neumann and Harvard architectures are two fundamental computer architecture designs that have been influential in shaping the way computers process and store data. As computing technologies continue to advance, understanding the differences between these two architectures becomes crucial for engineers, developers and technology enthusiasts alike. Let us talk about Von Neumann and Harvard architectures … Read more

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) is also referred to as vasopressin or arginine vasopressin (AVP). It is a neuro-secretary peptide hormone, produced naturally in an area of the brain referred to as the hypothalamus. It is then released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. ADH being a hormone is a protein in nature … Read more
Nucleoside is a structural sub-unit of nucleic acids, the heredity-controlling component of all living cells, consisting of a molecule of sugar linked to a nitrogen-containing organic ring compound. Nucleosides are usually obtained by chemical or enzymatic decomposition of nucleic acids. In nucleosides, the sugar is either ribose or deoxyribose and the nitrogen-containing compound is either … Read more
What Are Deuterostomes And Protostomes? Deuterostomes are the animals whose embryonic development undergoes radial cleavage. In other words, the cell division planes take place radially during the formation of the blastula through cleavage of the fertilized egg embryo. In deuterostomes, the first cavity formed by the blastopore ends up as the organism’s anus, while the … Read more
Nutrition is a biological study of food and various modes of nutrition of living organisms. It is one of the ways the living organisms obtain energy required for all the vital processes of the body. On the basis of nutrition, all the organisms are divided into two main groups- autotrophs and heterotrophs. Their corresponding modes … Read more
Cilia and Flagella are small hair like cytoplasmic processes arising from the free margins of the cell. These structures have the same internal length; however they differ in size, length, number and chemical composition. Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules and are covered by an extension of the plasma membrane. They also motile … Read more
Cilia and microvili are two types of projections in the plasma membrane. Microvilli are microscopic cellular membrane protrusions that increase the surface area for absorption. Cilia on the other hand, are narrow and long hair like protuberances from the apical surface of some epithelial cells. Both microvilli and cilia consist of protein fibers that extend … Read more
Flagellum is a long, whip-like structure that helps some single-celled organisms move. It is composed of microtubules. Flagella help propel cells and organisms in a whip-like motion. They are found in all three domains of the living world, that is, archaea, bacteria and eukaryote. Flagella not only provide movement for bacteria but also provide a … Read more
