Ribosomes: Ribosomes consists of two units one small and other large which fit together and work as one to translate mRNA into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis. In prokaryotic cells ribosomes are synthesized in the cytoplasm and nucleolus in eukaryotic cells. Over 200 proteins are needed to synthesize the four types of RNA. Ribosomes…
Nucleus: Nucleus contains the genome, which is the cell’s genetic database encoded in Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA). It is the largest organelle of the cell. Nucleus Structure: The structure of the nucleus (in a eukaryotic cell) includes several key components that together regulate genetic material and cellular function. It includes- 1)Nuclear Envelope 2)Nucleolus 3) Nucleoplasm 4)Chromatin…
New Discovery of Cell Division: It is the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, is a fundamental mechanism in biology. It plays a pivotal role in various biological processes, including growth, development, and reproduction. Over the years, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the intricate mechanisms underlying…
Carbohydrates: The carbohydrates are a group of naturally occurring carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones) that also contain several hydroxyl groups. Carbohydrate are the most abundant organic molecules in nature and also referred to as “saccharides”. The carbohydrates which are soluble in water and sweet in taste are called as “sugars”. Structure of Carbohydrates Carbohydrates consist…
Cell Organelles: Cells are the basic units of life and they are incredibly tiny. Most cells are microscopic and can only be seen with a microscope. Even though they are small, they are very complex and have many different parts, just like our bodies do. These parts are called organelles and each one has a…

Cell Cycle: Do you know that every organism, even the biggest ones, originates from a single cell? How a single cell then develops into such massive entities may be a mystery to you. Cells, and by extension all living things, possess the qualities of growth and reproduction. Every cell divides into two in order to…
Cell Theory: It is a fundamental unifying theory in biology that states that all living organisms are composed of cells, that cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells. The structural unit called cell, is now known as the unit of life and…
