It is often necessary to convert one set of units to another. This can be done in a systematic way by the method called dimensional analysis or the conversion factor method. Conversion factor is equal to the ratio of the magnitudes of the same quantity in the two ..

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..
