Both curd and Yoghurt are dairy products. Curd is obtained by coagulating milk in a process referred to as curdling. The coagulation can happen by adding rennet or any edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar and then allowing it to coagulate. The increase in acidity makes the milk proteins (casein) to tangle … Read more

True solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances in which substances dissolved (solute) in solvent has the particles size of less than 10-9 nm or 1 nm. Simple solution of sugar in water is an example of a true solution. The solute particles are invisible to the naked eye as well as … Read more

In Quantum chemistry, valence bond (VB) theory and molecular orbital (MO) theory, are two basic theories that are used to explain chemical bonding or simply how atoms come together to form molecules. Valence Bond Theory, rooted in the early 20th century, paints a picture of chemical bonds as localized interactions between overlapping atomic orbitals. VBT … Read more

A sol is a colloidal solution suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall Effect. Tyndall Effect is the scattering of visible light by colloidal particles. Artificial sols may be prepared by dispersion or condensation. Dispersion techniques include grinding solids to colloidal dimensions by … Read more

The term short day plants describes plants that begin flowering when the days are shorter than their critical day length.  For a short-day plant to bloom there must be less than 12 hours of daylight. Common Examples of short day plants include: Chrysanthemums, Poinsettias, Christmas cactus, Rice, Green Gram, Soybean, Marijuana, Jowar and Cotton among … Read more

Covalent Bonding A covalent bond, also referred to as molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is what is referred to as covalent bonding. There is a covalent bond … Read more

While both belong to the Enterobacteriaceae family, Salmonella and Shigella harbor distinctive characteristics that set them apart in terms of transmission, symptoms, and epidemiology. Characteristics of Salmonella Salmonella species are predominantly motile enterobacteria found in the digestive tracts of humans and animals especially reptiles. Food and water can also be contaminated with the bacteria if … Read more

 Plant movements do exist. Plant use movements as an adaptation to escape or minimize injury from harmful external factors or move towards scarce resource or otherwise secure food.  For example, the primary root moves downward where it can obtain water and mineral nutrients from deep down while the shoot moves upward to be exposed to … Read more

Sols can be defined as colloidal systems with solid as dispersed phase and liquid as dispersion medium. Lyophobic sol and Lyophilic sol are the only types of sols. Lyophilic sols commonly described as liquid loving sols have a greater affinity for solvent. These sols are prepared easily by shaking or warming the dispersion phase in … Read more
