Amensalism (Antagonism) Interaction: Types, Examples

Biology /

Amensalism Interaction, is a biological interaction in which one organism is prevented from existing or is destroyed while the other is left undisturbed. This interaction is commonly observed in both artificial and natural contexts, and it can happen through a variety of processes. Amensalism influences species interactions and preserves ecological balance, which in turn shapes […]

Allosteric Inhibition

Allosteric Inhibition: Mechanism, Cooperativity, Examples

Biology /

An allosteric inhibitor is a chemical that binds to the enzyme at an allosteric location. The allosteric site differs from the active site in several ways. When the enzyme combines with the inhibitor, its three-dimensional structure is altered. One type of non-competitive inhibition is allostery. What is Allosteric inhibition? Allosteric inhibition is a regulatory mechanism

Agglutination vs Precipitation

Agglutination vs Precipitation- Definition, 14 Differences, Examples

Biology /

Agglutination vs precipitation are both immunological reactions that occur when antigens and antibodies interact, but agglutination vs precipitation differ in terms of their procedures, results, and uses. Here is a thorough comparison: Definitions: Agglutination Clumping of particles is known as agglutination. This process happens when particulate antigens, including cells or insoluble particles, attach to antibodies

Absorption vs Adsorption

Absorption Vs Adsorption

Biochemistry /

Absorption vs Adsorption: Definitions and Examples The process of absorbing something involves allowing it to diffuse or osmotically permeate tissues or onto a surface like a cell. The fluid (absorbate) permeates the entire absorbent material in this bulk phenomenon. Endothermic absorption needs energy to take in the particles.   Adsorption is the process by which molecules,

Active vs. Passive Transport Differences and Examples

Active vs. Passive Transport: 18 Differences, Examples

Biology /

Active vs. Passive Transport: Differences and Examples Active transport is the process by which molecules move across a cell membrane while being pumped against a concentration gradient by ATP, or energy. Passive transport is the movement of molecules through the concentration gradient and across the cell membrane without the use of ATP, or energy. Active

Actin vs Myosin: Definitions and Examples

Actin vs Myosin: Definition, 14 Major Differences, Examples 

Biology /

Actin vs Myosin: Definitions and Examples Actin filaments are in charge of a variety of cell movements, typically in conjunction with myosin. The first example of a molecular motor is the protein myosin, which transforms chemical energy from ATP into mechanical energy to produce force and motion. Muscle contraction is the most notable type of

Types of Centrifuges

10 Types of Centrifuges with Principles and Uses 

Biology /

A centrifuge is a tool used to divide mixture components according to their size, density, rotor speed, and medium viscosity. In laboratories, they are frequently used to separate biological components from crude extracts.   There are various types of centrifuges. They are as follows: Types of Centrifuges:  1. Benchtop or Tabletop Centrifuges: It is a small,
