Relation Between Atomic Mass Unit and MeV (Mass Energy Relation) - The unit in which atomic and nuclear masses are measured is called atomic mass unit (a.m.u). 1 a.m.u is defined as 1/12 t h of the mass of an atom of 6 C 1 2 isotope. It can be shown that 1 a.m.u = 1.66..

The Cell - The cell is the fundamental structural and functional unit of living organisms. Cells need energy for active transport, to move molecules between the environment and the cells across cells or within cells. Cells obtain energy by oxidation of molecules like glucose. This oxidati..

Every organism has a tendency to increase its entropy, which is very much in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics. In order to maintain its organisation at the molecular, cellular and organismic levels, every organism is forced to obtain energy from its surroundings, so that the state ..

Enzymes - Enzymes are the biocatalysts of life. They are defined as biocatalysts synthesized by living cells. They are simple or conjugate protein and specific in action. At present about 300 enzymes are recognized and classified into six classes by International Union of Biochemistry (IUB). They a..
