Moyoglobin is an iron and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates in general and in almost all mammals.  Myoglobin has a very high affinity for oxygen and acts as an oxygen molecule. It only releases oxygen when the partial pressure of oxygen has fallen drastically. Hemoglobin on the other hand is the … Read more

Neurons are electrically excitable cells in the human bodies that communicate with other cells through specialized connection referred to as Synapses. Each neuron has a cell body with many minute branched short protoplasmic extensions referred to as dendrites and an elongated unbranched protoplasmic extension referred to as Axon. What Are Myelinated Nerve Fibers? Myelinated Nerve … Read more

Get to understand a clear distinction between myelinated and unmyelinated neurons. The basis of comparison include: Speed of transmission, description, node of ranvier, axon, diameter,  impulse conduction and location. BASIS OF COMPARISON MEDULLATED NERVE FIBRE Non-MEDULLATED Description Medullated nerve fibre is a nerve fibre with a medullary sheath. Non-medullated nerve fibre is a nerve fibre … Read more

Forging Forging is the metalworking process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. At the end of the forging process, the resulting product features extreme strength, impact toughness and wear resistance due to thermal and mechanical treatment. Forging can be classified according to the temperature at which it performed: cold forging, warm forging … Read more

Co–dominance is a form of dominance whereby the alleles of a gene that pair in heterozygote are fully expressed. This results in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive. A good example showing co-dominance is the ABO blood group system. On the other hand, Incomplete dominance also referred to as partial dominance … Read more

What is Anthrax Bacilli? Anthrax Bacilli or Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming bacterium and a dangerous pathogen that causes Anthrax disease.  Bacillus anthracis mainly affects livestock and wild game. Humans too can become infected through direct or indirect contact with sick animals. Usually the bacteria enter the body through a wound in the skin or … Read more

Composite, compound and Alloy are usually very confusing terms to some students of chemistry. In this article, get to understand the underlying difference between Alloy, compound and composite. The basis of distinction include: Description, Bonding, appearance, conductivity, physical properties, chemical reaction, separation, examples, boiling and melting points. Key Differences Description Alloy: An alloy is a … Read more

The process of adsorption occurs due to presence of unbalanced or residual forces at the surface of liquid or solid phase. These unbalanced residual forces have tendency to attract and retain the molecular species with which it comes in contact with the surface. The process of adsorption involves two components adsorbent and adsorbate. Absorption according … Read more

 A wet lab is a type of laboratory in which a wide range of experiments are performed, for example, titration in chemistry, diffraction of light in physics and characterization of enzymes in biology etc, all of which may sometimes involve dealing with liquid substances. Given that in this type of lab, chemicals and potential wet … Read more
