The endoplasmic reticulum is an important part of a cell that makes and transports proteins and fats. It comes in two types: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. This blog will explain the structure...
All living things, whether plants or animals, are composed of microscopic structures called cells. The basic structure of a cell is similar in all living organisms. However, there are some key differences between plant...
Living things consist of tiny living parts or compartments called cells. A cell itself consists of certain tiny parts or structures called organelles. These organelles perform various life functions within the cell. In this...
The classification of the plant kingdom or the Kingdom Plantae, based on characteristics, along with examples is as follows: Primary classification Flowering plants – Plants that bear flowers Angiosperms – mango, peas, apple, sugarcane,...
The Structure of a Generalized Cell helps us understand how all living things function. Every living organism, whether a plant or an animal, is made up of tiny building blocks called cells. These cells...
What are Tissues? Living things are made of tiny, living compartments called cells. Cells perform life functions, but alone, their impact is minimal in plants and animals. To work efficiently, many similar cells join...
There are millions of things in this World, some alive and some not. How do we distinguish between what’s alive and what’s not? In this post, we’ll delve into the characteristics of living and...
The permanent plant tissue forms the bulk of the plant body. Unlike, meristematic tissues, these tissues do not divide. They take a permanent shape and become specialized to perform a specific function for the rest...
We derive the word ‘meristematic’ or ‘meristem’ from the Greek word ‘meristos’, which means ‘divide’. Therefore, meristematic plant tissues are made of actively dividing cells. The cells, which form meristematic tissue can multiply and...
The difference between non-living and dead depends on whether something has ever experienced life or not. Here’s a simplified explanation: Dead things once lived, went through a life cycle, and displayed life characteristics. For...
