An inotrope is agent that alters the force or energy of muscular contractions. There are two categories of inotrope that is negatively inotropic agents and positively inotropic agents. Positively inotropic agents such as dopamine, Epinephrine, Isoproterenol, Amiodarone, etc. increase the strength of muscular contraction while negatively inotropic agents such as labetol and propanolol weakens the … Read more
What Is Osmotic Potential? Osmosis takes place across water potential gradient i.e water moves from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential. Water potential is the measure of concentration of free water molecules (the ones that are free to move) in other words, the potential energy. Water potential of … Read more
A Multimeter also referred to as Multitester, is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical voltage can measure voltage, current and resistance. There are two types of Multimeters that is Digital Multimeter and Analog Multimeter. What Is A Digital Multimeter? A digital Multimeter is a test tool used … Read more
What is Parenchyma? Parenchyma is a tissue composed of living cells, usually having only thin primary cell walls and varying widely by morphology and metabolism. Parenchyma in the primary plant body often occurs as a continuous mass, such as in the cortex or pith of stems, roots, mesophyll and flesh of fruits. The common characteristic … Read more
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
