Jan Baptista van Helmont discovered the presence of carbon dioxide in the year 1630. Although the percentage of carbon dioxide in air is very small, it plays a vital role in nature. All the food that is produced on the earth is by photosynthesis, which employs carbon dioxide as the basic raw materi..

Periplaneta americana is one of the several species of cockroaches that inhabit our country. Cockroach is a nocturnal, omnivorous animal. It feeds on any kind of organic matter. Cockroach has a dorso ventrally flat, compressed body which is covered by a hard, chitinous exoske..

Significance of Photosynthesis - Photosynthesis is the only process which produces enormous quantities of organic matter for sustaining the life on this globe. It is the only known method of manufacture of organic food from inorganic raw materials. Animals including man are dire..

Lymphatic System - Lymphatic System of a Human The lymphatic system is an accessory circulatory system which transports lymph, a fluid similar to plasma from the intercellular spaces of tissues to the blood. It is a one way route for the movement of interstitial fluid to blood. The lymphatic system..

In the Earth's biosphere, water is essential to all forms of life. Interestingly, it is also the biospheres most abundant compound and a unique substance from the chemical point of view. About 75% of the Earth's surface consists of water. Water is present as either (a) Solid - ice, snow e..

The biotic component of our environment on land, i.e. plants and animals (leaving aside the oceans and other water bodies) are overwhelmingly found in forests. Forests form a buffer for the earth to protect life forms; in fact that's where all our biodiversity and inc..

The destructive distillation of nitrogenous organic matters such as horns, hoofs, bones etc. of animals..

Hypothalamus - The hypothalamus is a part of the brain, situated at the base of the fore brain. It consists of several masses of the grey matter called hypothalamic nuclei, scattered in the white matter. It is connected to the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland by hypophysal p..

Although matter circulates, energy cannot be reused indefinitely. Solar energy is converted by the photosynthetic producers (plants) into chemical energy in the form of plant carbohydrates. Herbivores consume the plant carbohydrates and so this chemical energy is transferred to ..

When substances react, they do so by following certain laws. These laws are called the laws of chemical combination. These formed the basis of Dalton's atomic theory of matter..
