The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is one of the cell organelles. Organelle means ‘the little organs’. Organelles have a definite structure and defined functions in the cell and have the same status in the cell...
All living things, whether plants or animals, are made of microscopic structures called cells. The basic structure of a cell is similar in all living things. Both plant and animal cells contain the cell...
Living things are made up 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....
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,...
Generalized Structure of Cell Various kinds of cells have different shapes and structures based on the functions performed by them. Yet, all of them show some basic structural plan. This basic representation of cells...
Living things are made up of tiny living parts or compartments called cells. The cell provides structure and performs all life functions of living things. However, a single cell working on its own would achieve...
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...
We can call only those things dead, which once lived and followed the life cycle. For example, we can call a block of wood and leather dead because they come from organisms that once...
