process description

The events in protein synthesis are better known in bacteria than in eukaryotes. Although these are thought to be similar in the two groups there are some differences. The following description refers mainly to protein synthesis in bacteria on the 70S ribosome. Protein synthesis is a high..

The radiant energy from the sun is the source of both light and heat energy to photosynthesis. Light energy is harvested by the pigments in order to carry out the breaking down of water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. This is an energy-intensive process. Sunlight can be split into seve..

Mitosis - This type of cell division occurs in the somatic (body) cells. Here a diploid (2n) parent cell gives rise to two diploid (2n) daughter cells. For the purpose of description mitosis is divided into four stages - Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase It is important to understand ..

Solid-Liquid Equilibrium - When a solid is heated it starts melting at a certain fixed temperature (melting point). At this stage even when the heating is continued, the temperature does not change until the whole of solid is converted into liquid. The state when solid and liquid phases of a substa..
