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 Amines are formally derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group.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
What Is Solar Eclipse? A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between Earth and the Sun and the moon casts a shadow over Earth. A solar eclipse can only take place at the phase of new moon, when the moon passes directly between the Sun and Earth and its shadows fall upon Earth’s surface. … Read more
PAN( Personal Area Network) PAN stands for Personal Area Network. It is sometimes referred to as Wireless personal Area Network (WPAN). It’s a network covering a very small area, typically a small room. It enables computer devices to communicate with other nearby computers and exchange information and data. Devices in one PAN network can establish … Read more
Transpiration is the process in which plants lose water in the form of moisture or water vapor. Parts of plant like stem, small pores on leaves and flowers evaporate the water to the atmosphere. 90% of the transpiration occurs through foliar surface or surface of leaves. Types of transpiration include: stomatal, lenticular and cuticular transpiration. … Read more
