Know in one minute about C value paradox The c value paradox is the developing form of C value. C value is considered as the number of DNA base pairs present in the haploid set of the genome. C value phenomenon is the Complexity of an organism that is increased if the number of DNA […]
Introduction Acetyl CoA is a vital compound in cellular respiration. It is produced from carbohydrates, protein or amino acids, and lipids. It is a key player in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, and lipids. Where it helps in the breakdown of food to create energy. It is known as metabolite as it is
Definition Cytochromes are redox-active proteins containing a heme, with the central Fe (iron) atom at its core, as a cofactor. They are involved in the electron transport chain and redox catalysis. Cytochromes are classified according to the type of heme and its mode of binding. They are found in both animals and plants and contain
Know in one minute about Bioaugmentation Bioaugmentation is a process in which specialized microorganisms are added to perform biodegradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants (present in soil and groundwater). It is designed to reduce the contamination level. Increases the active microbes and microorganisms level in the treatment environment. The contaminants are transformed into less harmful substances

Introduction Minerals are natural substances that are extracted from rocks found either on the surface or inside the earth. Based on their natural properties, they are categorized into two groups namely metallic minerals and non-metallic minerals. Metallic minerals are minerals that contain metal elements such as iron, copper, zinc, and lead. There is a crucial

Introduction The term weathering originates from the weather. Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks under the influence of different elements of weather and in various natural processes and chemical reactions. There are three types of weathering. These are chemical weathering, mechanical weathering or physical weathering, and biological weathering discussed in detail below. Weathering

Introduction Insolation is a type of atmospheric phenomenon where the sunray plays an essential role. The main source of heat in the atmosphere is the sun. Sun’s rays cannot heat the atmosphere directly. The earth’s surface is first heated by the sun’s rays and then the atmosphere is heated indirectly due to the heat radiation

.e Know in one minute about Lactate dehydrogenase reaction Lactate dehydrogenase reaction is important for the production of energy. The enzyme of Lactate dehydrogenase oxidized lactate and NAD+ and reduced pyruvate and NADH. In homolactic fermentation, lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate to lactate and regenerates NAD+ for the continuation of glycolysis. LDH has five distinct
