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 polymers of amino acids are peptides and large peptides are called proteins. Proteins are macromolecules that are constructed by the repetition of one or more structural elements, called monomers. In the case of proteins, the monomers are a group of about 20 amino acids. Proteins have different properties thus the properties of proteins

Introduction Anion exchange chromatography is a method of ion-exchange chromatography. This method is used to separate molecules according to their net surface charge. The ion-exchange chromatography is an analytical technique that shows the polarity of the division of ionic and molecular species based on the principles of chromatography. This process is commonly used to separate

Introduction Storage proteins are a type of protein that acts as a reservoir of metal ions and amino acids, which can be combined and used for maintenance and growth. Proteins are classified according to their structure, origin, and function. Protein is a type of large organic molecule, consisting of a chain of one or more

Introduction Tertiary structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of all the atoms in a protein having different types of bonds. The disulfide bond is one of them, the secondary structure of the polypeptide chain is determined by the short-range structural relationship of amino acid residues. Whereas tertiary structure is conferred by long-range aspects of amino acid

Introduction Protein is a complex nitrogenous complex with a high molecular mass that is a polymer of amino acids. This macromolecule is considered to be the main component of all life. It is not possible to imagine the existence of any animal without protein. All proteins are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. There

Introduction The Carboxyl group (-COOH) of one amino acid is attached to the amino group of another amino acid by a covalent bond called a peptide bond. When a peptide bond forms a water molecule is eliminated. Each amino acid unit in the peptide is known as the residue. All peptides have two ends, amino-terminal

Introduction Pentose sugar is a component of nucleotides. Nucleotides are biological molecules that act as monomers and as subunits of DNA and RNA. These biological molecules carry energy packets to the cell in the form of nucleoside triphosphate (ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP), which play a key role in metabolic processes. Nucleotides are formed by

Introduction Biotic components of the grassland ecosystem refer to the various biological ingredients of the grassland ecosystem. They are the living parts of an ecosystem comprising plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. An ecosystem is a functional unit of nature, where living organisms interact among themselves and also with their surrounding physical environment. It is an
