Physical, chemical and Biological characteristics of sewage

Biology /

Sewage, also called wastewater, is the used water that comes from homes, businesses, and industries. It contains a wide variety of substances, including human waste, food scraps, oils, soaps, chemicals, and anything else that goes down drains. To manage and treat wastewater properly, it’s important to understand its characteristics. These characteristics are typically divided into […]

Interferons (IFNs): types, mode of action and effects

Biology /

What is Interferons ? Interferons (IFNs) are proteins produced by the body’s cells in response to viral infections, tumors, and other threats to the immune system. They serve as critical players in the body’s defense mechanisms, helping the immune system fight off infections and diseases. The name “interferon” comes from their ability to “interfere” with

Classification of protein; on the basis of structure, composition and function

Biology /

Protein Proteins are fundamental to life, acting as the building blocks of cells and performing a wide range of functions. Every process in the body, from digestion to muscle movement, involves proteins. To understand their diversity and importance, scientists classify proteins based on their structure, composition, and function. Let’s explore each classification of Protein in

Autoimmune Disease: Mechanism of autoimmunity, Types and examples

Biology /

Autoimmune Disease Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system, which is supposed to protect us from harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses, mistakenly attacks healthy cells in our body. Think of the immune system as a defense force whose main job is to recognize and destroy foreign invaders. But in autoimmune diseases, this defense

Brugia malayi: Introduction, Morphology, Pathogenesis, Clinical manifestation and Treatment

Biology /

Brugia malayi Brugia malayi is a parasitic nematode (roundworm) that causes a disease called lymphatic filariasis, also known as elephantiasis. This disease affects millions of people, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, including countries like India, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The parasite is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes, especially

Rate of enzyme reactions and factor affecting the rate of enzyme reactions

Biology /

What is Enzyme? Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms without being consumed in the process. They are crucial to life because most of the biochemical reactions in our bodies would be too slow without them. Enzymes make reactions happen quickly enough to support life by lowering the amount of
