Chloroplast – Definition, Structure, Distribution, function and Diagram

June 1, 2023June 2, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 1 Comment

Chloroplasts, found in plant cells, are defined as organelles that contain chlorophyll. They have a complex structure with outer and inner membranes, stroma, thylakoid membranes and grana. Functionally, chloroplasts play a key role in photosynthesis. They convert light energy into chemical energy, produce ATP and oxygen and fixing carbon dioxide. The diagrams illustrate the structure and functions of chloroplasts in plant metabolism.

Short Note on Mitochondria

May 16, 2023May 16, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

Mitochondria, the ‘Powerhouse of the cell’, are double-membrane organelles found in eukaryotic organisms. They function as the cell’s digestive system and play an important role in energy production through oxidative phosphorylation. With their unique structure and multiple functions, mitochondria regulate metabolism, promote cell growth, detoxify ammonia, induce apoptosis and maintain calcium ion balance, making them essential for cellular activities.

Endocytosis and Exocytosis – Differences , Similarities ,Roles, Steps , Types

April 26, 2023April 26, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

Endocytosis and Exocytosis are cellular processes used to move molecules in and out of cells, respectively. Endocytosis involves the formation of a vesicle to engulf and transport molecules into the cell, while exocytosis involves the fusion of a vesicle with the plasma membrane to release molecules out of the cell. These processes play important roles in nutrient uptake, waste elimination, cell communication etc.

What is Endocytosis – Class 9

April 22, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 1 Comment

Endocytosis allows cells to take in external materials by forming vesicles that fuse with the cell membrane. This process is vital for nutrient uptake and immune function. There are three steps and three types of Endocytosis. Phagocytosis engulfs particles, while Pinocytosis takes up fluids and solutes. Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis uses specific receptors to target and internalise molecules.

Endocytosis -Definition, Mechanism, Types, Examples

April 20, 2023April 26, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 5 Comments.

Endocytosis is a cellular process by which cells absorb molecules and particles from the external environment by engulfing them within a vesicle. There are three main types of endocytosis – phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Endocytosis plays a crucial role in nutrient uptake, immune defence and cellular signalling. Examples of endocytosis include the uptake of bacteria by immune cells and the absorption of nutrients by intestinal cells.

Xylem Diagram

A neatly labeled xylem diagram to understand xylem tissue. Xylem consists of vessel elements, tracheids, fibers and parenchyma cells each with unique functions in water and nutrient transport and structural support. Important features such as cytoplasm, the nucleus and bordered and simple pits are also shown in the diagram. Students can use this easy-to-draw diagram for their assignments and exams.

Components of Xylem

Xylem is a vital plant tissue responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. It is made up of several components, including tracheids, vessel elements, fibers and parenchyma cells. Tracheids and vessel elements form long tubes that allow for efficient water transport, while fibers provide structural support. Parenchyma cells help with storage and metabolic functions.

15 Difference between Xylem and Phloem

March 23, 2023March 24, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 2 Comments.

Xylem and phloem are two types of specialized tissues found in vascular plants. Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant, while phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic molecules from the leaves to the rest of the plant. They have distinct structural and functional differences. Understanding these differences is crucial for understanding how plants grow and develop

Xylem – Definition , Structure, Components (Types), Functions And Importance

March 19, 2023April 2, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 11 Comments.

Xylem is a specialized tissue in vascular plants that transports water and minerals from roots to the rest of the plant. It is composed of tracheids, vessel elements, xylem parenchyma, xylem fibers and xylem rays. Water transport is driven by root pressure and transpiration pull. Xylem provides structural support, stores nutrients and transports signaling molecules. Its transport mechanism is a combination of physical and biological factors.
