Classification refers to the orderly arrangement of organisms, based on their similarities and differences. The process of classifying plants had been practiced even in the ancient times. The main classification systems used in plants were: Artificial Classification: It is the first and the oldest system of plant classification. It was based on one or a … Read more

The specific conductance or the conductivity of the electrolyte solution is defined as the measurement of its capacity to conduct the electricity. Conductivity’s SI unit is (S/m) i.e. siemens per metre. The measurements of conductivity are regularly used in many environmental and the industrial applications as a reliable, inexpensive, and fast way to measure an … Read more
Viruses are organisms that lie at the boundary between living and non- living organisms. They are non-cellular organisms and have an inert crystalline structure outside a living cell. Once a virus infects a host cell, they will become alive and takes over the host cell machinery to divide themselves. They are thus obligate parasites. The … Read more

Kingdom Plantae contains all plant species: mosses, ferns, algae, conifers and flowering plants. All the members are chlorophyll containing eukaryotes. The plant cells have a eukaryotic structure with prominent chloroplasts and cell wall mainly made of cellulose. Plants : Nutrition Majority of the plants are photoautotrophic. Using chlorophyll, they will capture light energy, which is … Read more
All unicellular eukaryote were placed under the Kingdon Protista. Most of them live in aquatic habitats. Since they are eukaryotes, the cells have a distinct nucleus and membrane bound cell organelles. Motile protists possess either flagella or cilia. Reproduction involves both sexual and asexual methods. Protista: Classification Chrysophytes Diatoms and Golden algae are the sole … Read more

VIROIDS Viroids are small infectious agents, composed of a single- stranded circular RNA without a capsid. It was discovered by T. O. Diener in 1971. It differs from viruses only in that it lacks a capsid, and hence the name viroid. The viroid RNA does not code for any gene, hence they cannot replicate themselves. … Read more
What is the Van’t Hoff Factor? The Van’t Hoff factor ‘i’ gives you the introduction on effects of the solutes on solutions’ colligative properties. It is represented by the symbol ‘i’. The Van’t Hoff factor can be outlined as ratio of formation of particles’ concentration when the substances dissolves to substance’s concentration by mass/weight. The … Read more
