Photorespiration is a Wasteful process Justify

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

Photorespiration is a wasteful process that inhibits photosynthesis by diverting RuBisCO activity from carbon fixation. It reduces the production of glucose and oxygen, important products of photosynthesis. In addition, photorespiration consumes ATP instead of producing it, resulting in a loss of energy for the plant. It also leads to a loss of fixed carbon through the release of carbon dioxide, which further reduces carbon gain.

Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) -Pathway, Significance, Examples

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

Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) is a specialised form of photosynthesis in xerophytic succulents. CAM Plants absorb CO2 at night, store it as malic acid and release it during the day for carbohydrate production. They conserve water by closing the stomata during the day. Examples are orchids, cacti, aloe and pineapple. CAM enables efficient CO2 use, water conservation and reduced photorespiration in arid environments.

Chloroplast – Definition, Structure, Distribution, function and Diagram

June 1, 2023June 22, 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.

Human Circulatory System

April 7, 2023February 7, 2024 - by Jaishree Gorane - 5 Comments.

The human circulatory system is responsible for delivering oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells and tissues throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels and blood. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body through arteries and the deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through veins. The circulatory system also helps remove waste products from cells and helps regulate body temperature.

Blood Coagulation (Blood Clotting)

April 3, 2023November 9, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - Leave a Comment

Blood coagulation or blood clotting is a complex process that prevents excessive bleeding after an injury. It involves platelets, clotting factors, fibrin, and endothelial cells and occurs in a series of steps including vasoconstriction, platelet activation, the coagulation cascade, clot retraction and fibrinolysis. There are many clotting factors involved in coagulation. Disruptions to any of them can lead to bleeding disorders or unwanted blood clots.

Phloem – Definition, Structure, Function, Types and How does Phloem tissue work

March 23, 2023March 23, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 5 Comments.

Phloem tissue is a type of vascular tissue in plants that transports sugars, amino acids, hormones and other organic compounds from the leaves to the rest of the plant. The tissue is made up of several different types of cells like sieve tube elements, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibers. Phloem tissue plays a critical role in plant growth and development by facilitating the transport of hormones, defending against pathogens, transmitting signals and storing nutrients. There are two types of phloem tissue- primary phloem and secondary phloem.

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.

What’s Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure?

March 19, 2023December 23, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 2 Comments.

Blood pressure is a vital sign that reflects the pressure of blood against the walls of arteries. Systolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood out into the body, while diastolic blood pressure is the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. This article will provide an in-depth look at the differences between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and why they are important .
