Introduction Cork cambium is the layer of cambium that is usually seen in woody plants. Different types of tissues and cells form the plant body, which helps the plant to grow by producing new cells and tissues. Cork cambium is a type of secondary meristematic tissue. The Secondary tissues are formed during the secondary growth

Introduction The body constantly needs energy to control various biological functions. The organism consumes food to gain this energy. The static energy in food that is stored from solar energy through the process of photosynthesis is converted into kinetic energy through a biochemical process of respiration. The organism performs physiological functions such as food intake,

Introduction Ribose 5-phosphate is a product produced in the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. The sequence of steps of enzymatic reactions where a precursor is converted into a product through a series of metabolic intermediates is known as the metabolic pathway. The pentose phosphate pathway is also a metabolic pathway. It is the

Introduction All organisms are made up of tiny billions of cells that cannot be seen with the naked eye. In 1665 scientist Robert Hooke first discovered the cell. The cells are arranged one on top of the other to form organisms. The size of a cell is about 0.1 micrometers to 100 micrometers. The unicellular

Introduction The biogeochemical cycle is an important cycle in the biological world. As the name suggests biogeochemical cycles cannot be completed without living beings hence organisms are also deeply dependent on this cycle. The nitrogen cycle is one of the most important biogeochemical cycles of all the cycles. It is an essential element and it

Introduction Xylem and phloem are the types of plant vascular tissues. The primary function of both tissues is to assist the transport of water and mineral salts in the plant body. But these two tissues are different from each other. Xylem vs phloem microscopic differences are the primary topic discussed here. A tissue is a

Introduction The atmosphere is the only source of nitrogen with a total amount of about 78%. The nitrification process is one of the steps of the nitrogen cycle. This nitrogen is the most essential element for all living organisms. This nitrogen circulates from the atmosphere to the biosphere and again from the biosphere to the

Introduction Besides glycolysis, the carbohydrate can be metabolized by the pentose phosphate pathway. Different types of food items are digested in the nutrition system and turned into simple food. Simple food is absorbed by the small intestine flows through the bloodstream to different cells and becomes part of the protoplasm. The absorbed food reaches various

Introduction Synthetic seed and in vitro propagation are the need of the hour. Mainly for the conservation of those plants that are under threat of extinction. Synthetic seed is a generic term for a somatic embryo delivery system used as a means of clonal propagation. Artificial seeds or synthetic seeds have great potential for large-scale
