Biology

Biology is the branch of science that primarily deals with the structure, function, growth, evolution, and distribution of organisms. It’s a methodological study of life and living things.

Biology is the scientific study of life. It spans multiple levels, from biomolecules and cells to organisms and populations12. All living things share common biological phenomena, such as reproduction, cell division, and the transmission of genetic material.

Eutrophication: undesirable effects and control measures

Biology /

Eutrophication Eutrophication is an environmental challenge that has serious consequences for aquatic ecosystems. It occurs when excess nutrients, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, enter water bodies like lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. These nutrients typically come from agricultural runoff, wastewater discharge, and urban stormwater. While nutrients are vital for plant growth, their overabundance can trigger significant

Difference between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria

Biology /

Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria Bacteria are divided into two main categories Gram positive and Gram negative based on how they respond to a Gram stain test. These groups differ primarily in their cell wall structure, which influences how they react to stains, their vulnerability to antibiotics, and their potential to cause disease. Gram positive Gram-positive

Treatment, prevention and control of malaria

Biology /

What is Malaria? Malaria is a dangerous disease caused by parasites mainly transmitted to humans through bites from infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. While substantial progress has been made in reducing mosquito diseases cases and deaths, it continues to be a significant health challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Understanding how mosquito diseases is treated,

Disorders/diseases caused by deficiency or over secretion of various hormones

Biology /

Hormones are essential for regulating the body’s internal systems, influencing everything from growth and metabolism to mood and reproduction. When the body produces too much or too little of certain hormones, it can lead to various health issues. Here, we’ll examine some common disorders that result from hormonal imbalances, whether due to hormone deficiencies or

Electrocardiogram (ECG): working principle, normal ECG wave, application of ECG

Biology /

Electrocardiogram (ECG) Overview An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a test that measures the heart’s electrical activity. The heart’s muscles contract due to electrical impulses, and these signals can be detected through electrodes placed on the skin. The information from these electrodes is recorded as a graph known as an ECG. This test is painless

Aminoglycosides: antimicrobial activity, mode of action, mechanism of resistance and pharmacological properties

Biology /

Aminoglycosides are a class of antibiotics that have been widely used since the 1940s to combat serious bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. Examples of these antibiotics include gentamicin, streptomycin, and amikacin, which are frequently employed in treating conditions like sepsis, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and pneumonia. Antimicrobial Activity Aminoglycosides are effective at
