Viscosity: Meaning and Top 4 Factors

In this article we will discuss about the Meaning and Factors of Viscosity. Definition of Viscosity: The resistance experienced by one layer of a liquid in moving over another layer is called "vis­cosity". Viscosity varies greatly. Ether and gasoline have little viscosity and are quite mobile. But honey and coal-tar have high viscosities. The unit of viscosity is the "Poise", [...]

Top 16 Properties of Acidity and Alkalinity | Biophysics

The following points highlight the top sixteen properties of acidity and alkalinity. 1. The reaction of the tissues and tissue fluids of the body is nearly natural excepting gastric juice. The slight changes in reaction have a significant physiological effect. In case the reaction of the so­lution is made slightly more acid or more alkaline, the heart stops. 2. Acidity [...]

Transport of Ions through Cell Membrane

In this article we will discuss about the Transport of Ions and Other Molecules through Biological Cell Membrane. The living organisms can be resolved into organs, glands, tissues, cells and organelles. It is very inter­esting in biology to know how solutes and water get into and out of cells and organelles. Most at­tention is to be paid to erythrocytes and [...]
