Gymnosperms, seed-producing vascular plants, lack flowers and fruits, exposing their seeds on cone scales. Originating in the Paleozoic era, their characteristics include naked seeds, needle-like leaves, and wind pollination. Divided into four groups—Cycadophyta, Coniferophyta, Ginkgophyta, Gnetophyta—they play crucial ecological roles and have significant economic value in food, medicine, and industry.

Antigens and pathogens are crucial in understanding infectious diseases and the immune response. Antigens are substances that provoke an immune response, potentially leading to antibody production. In contrast, pathogens are organisms or agents that cause diseases. The distinctions include their nature, composition, sources, roles, interactions with the immune system, and types, shedding light on their unique functions in health and disease.

Antigens and antibodies differ in several aspects. Antigens, like bacteria or viruses, trigger immune responses and can originate from within the body in autoimmune diseases. Antibodies, produced in response to antigens, neutralise or eliminate them, aiding in immunity. They vary in molecular structure, origin, and function etc..

The pancreas is a glandular organ located in the abdominal cavity. It has a complex structure consisting of various parts, including the head, body, and tail. Functionally, the pancreas plays a crucial role in both the digestive and endocrine systems. It produces and secretes digestive enzymes and juices, essential for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. Additionally, the pancreas secretes important hormones like insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood sugar levels. The pancreatic structure, function, and hormonal secretions are vital for maintaining overall health and metabolic balance.

The liver, a vital organ known for its remarkable structure and function, comprises four lobes: right, left, caudate, and quadrate. It is supported by the falciform ligament and surrounded by Glisson’s capsule. The liver’s crucial components include the common hepatic duct, hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein, lobes, lobules, and the protective peritoneum. Its intricate structure enables it to perform vital functions in the body.

Photorespiration occurs in

June 10, 2023June 10, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

Photorespiration occurs in C3 plants and involves several organelles. In chloroplasts, RuBP oxygenase reacts with RuBP, leading to the formation of PGA and PGly. Glycolic acid is produced in chloroplasts and then undergoes oxidation in peroxisomes, forming glyoxylic acid. Within mitochondria, glycine combines with CO2 and NH3, releasing CO2 and forming serine.
