What Are Gymnosperms? The gymnosperms also referred to as Acrogymnospermae are a group of plants that share one common characteristic in that they bear seeds, but their seeds do not develop from within an ovary. Gymnosperms are abundant in temperate forest and boreal forest biomes with species that can tolerate moist or dry conditions. The … Read more
Clustering and classification are the two main techniques of managing algorithms in data mining processes. Although both techniques have certain similarities such as dividing data into sets. The main difference between them is that classification uses predefined classes in which objects are assigned while clustering identifies similarities between objects and groups them in such a … Read more
What Is Reversible Process? In thermodynamics, a reversible process is a process whose direction can be returned to its original position by inducing infinitesimal changes to some property of the system via its surroundings. During reversible process, the entropy of the system does not increase and all the changes in state that occur in the … Read more
The two important structures in the processes of inhalation and exhalation are diaphragm and intercostalsmuscles. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscles that separate the chest (thoracic) cavity from the rest of the body while intercostals muscles are found between the ribs and they control movement of rib. The diaphragm and intercostals muscles are constantly … Read more
What Is Static Equilibrium? Static equilibrium is an equilibrium that occurs when all particles in the reaction are at rest and there is no motion between reactants and products. Static equilibrium occurs when there is no exchange between reactants and products. The process is in static equilibrium if you have a reaction that can occur … Read more
What Is A Solenoid? A solenoid is a long coil of wire wrapped in many turn, when a current passes through it, it creates a nearly uniform magnetic field inside. Solenoids can convert electric current to mechanical action and so are very commonly used as switches. The magnetic field within a solenoid depends upon the … Read more
What Is Enantiomers? An Enantiomer is one of the two molecules (stereoisomers) that are mirror images of each other and are non-superposable. Enantiomers have identical chemical and physical properties such as boiling point, melting point and spectroscopic features except for their ability to rotate plane-polarized by equal amounts but in opposite directions. Enantiomers interact differently … Read more
Cryptogams A cryptogam is a plant that reproduces by spores without flowers or seeds. The best-known groups of cryptogams are algae, lichens, Hornworts, Liverworts, mosses and ferns. It also includes non-photosynthetic organisms traditionally classified as plants, such as fungi, slime molds and bacteria. Characteristics Of Cryptogams Phanerogams Phanerogams are plants comprising those having reproductive organs, … Read more
Stereoisomers are pairs of compounds that have the same chemical formula and the same atom connectivity, but they differ in their three-dimensional orientation. Monosaccharide like glucose, fructose, mannose and galactose can show different isomerism. For example glucose and fructose are functional isomers of each other as glucose contains aldehyde group and fructose contains ketonic group … Read more
Permanent magnets and electromagnets are two main types of magnets. A permanent magnet is called a permanent magnet because of ability to generate and retain its own persistent magnetic field. An electromagnet on the other hand is made from a coil of wire wrapped around a ferrous core and requires an electric current to generate … Read more
