Notes on Vertebrate Society | Ecology

The below mentioned article provides a note on vertebrate society. Definition of Vertebrate Society: A society has been defined as a grouping of organisms within a popula­tion. The vertebrate society, as it appears, is more successful than the invertebrate society. The success of vertebrate societies lies in the functional versatility of the indivi­duals.

Imbibition in Plants | Water Diffusion

Imbibition is a type of diffusion by which movement of water takes place along a diffusion gradient. Due to this process certain dried and half-dried matters absorb water. Such substances (e.g., fibres, wood pieces, proteins and sponges) are called adsorbants. An adsorbant is required for the imbibition to occur. The cell wall and the protoplasm also absorb water by the [...]

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) | Energy Storage

The below mentioned article provides a note on Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Adenosine Triphosphate is an energy intermediate. Both energy-yielding and energy-consuming reactions occur within the living cell. The potential or stored energy of one compound, such as glucose, is released and utilised, in a most efficient manner, to drive the synthesis of other compounds, such as proteins. This energy, now [...]
