Emulsification of Fats

May 15, 2023June 29, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 4 Comments.

Emulsification of fats is an important process in digestion in which large globules of fat are broken down into smaller droplets. This process is carried out by bile, a substance produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile emulsifies fats by acting as a detergent, breaking down the fat into smaller droplets that can be easily digested and absorbed by the body. Without this process, the digestion and absorption of fats would be much less efficient.

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

April 26, 2023October 6, 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, 2023October 6, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 2 Comments.

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.

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.

Parts of Leaf – Structure, Types How Leaves Work , Function and Diagram

April 7, 2023April 7, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 1 Comment

Leaves are an important part of plants. They come in different shapes and sizes, but all leaves have similar parts. The flat, green part of the leaf is called the blade and the stalk that attaches it to the stem is called the petiole. Leaves have tiny openings called stomata, which let in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Leaves use sunlight to make food for the plant through a process called Photosynthesis.

Transverse Section of Leaf

April 6, 2023May 30, 2023 - by Jaishree Gorane - 1 Comment

The transverse section of a leaf is a cross-sectional view revealing the internal structure and organisation of cells, which is critical for understanding functions and adaptations.Leaf has several layers – the upper and lower epidermis, palisade and spongy parenchyma and vascular bundles. Stomata and air spaces regulate gas exchange, while xylem and phloem transport water, minerals, and nutrients.

15 Difference between Xylem and Phloem

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

Xylem and phloem are vital plant tissues with different tasks. Xylem transports water and nutrients upwards from the roots, while the phloem transports sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant. Their composition, flow direction, location, transport mechanism, speed of movement, response to injury, fibres, distribution, movements and roles within plants provide fascinating insights.
