Introduction to the electron transport chain We already know that there are two pathways are theirs in cellular respiration namely glycolysis and cellular respiration. The main aim is to produce ATP. But most of the ATP is not produced directly from these pathways during the aerobic breakdown of glucose. The ATP is obtained from a process that starts with moving electrons through electron transporter series. That series finally underwent a series known as the electron transport chain. In matrix space, the hydrogen ions are piled up. The hydrogen ions that are accumulated in the matrix space started diffusing bypass through ... Read More

Introduction An electrocardiograph is a simple to test of the rhymes and electrical signals in the heart. This test able to detect heart diseases and monitors the health of the heart. An electrocardiograph is also known as an electrocardiogram, EGC, or EKG. As the electric impulses pass through our heart it produces a current that is passed through our body and reaches the skin. In this test, sensors are attached to the skin so that it can identify the heart's electrical activity. These electrical signals are recorded in the EGC machine. This EGC test is done by health care personnel ... Read More

Introduction Water is the fundamental resource that establishes the life of all living things on the planet. Water pollution caused by millions of people finally leads to the scarcity of water. Water pollution is caused due to various factors including industrial wastes. Oxygen level falls down as the basal temperature of water rises. Deforestation can result in the contamination of groundwater due to sedimentation and bacterial growth. Leaching of pesticides from agricultural activities reaches groundwater via underground channels. There are several adverse effects of this water pollution such that the disappearance of biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems, negative impact on human ... Read More

Introduction Wastes are unused and unwanted materials discarded by various sources (by humans and animals) such as houses, hospitals, institutes, offices, factories, crop fields, and vehicles. These wastes can be decomposed naturally. Some of them are not degraded easily, they contaminate our environments and show an adverse impact on the community's health, climate and daily life. There are a number of methods to dispose of wastes to conserve the environment and protect humans and animals. Why is waste disposal necessary? Decrease the effect of waste on the atmosphere and health. Recycle and reuse sources like paper, glass, cotton, cans, ... Read More

Introduction Our earth is made up of nearly 70% water. The human body is made up of 60% water. It is one of the six vital nutrients that are necessary for our survival. Other than that, we need a constant water supply for our day-to-day activities like bathing, cleaning, watering plants, etc. Additionally, industrial operations require a large amount of water for heating and cleaning purposes. Water also acts as a solvent for many chemical and biological processes. However, the rapidly increasing population and industrialization have led to immense pressure on water resources. Many parts of the world are already ... Read More

Introduction Plastics are made up of polymers that are derived from petroleum products and it becomes versatile product because of their significant properties and applications. The varied types of plastics exist in different objects such as polyethylene terephthalate in plastic bottles, polyvinyl chloride in toys, polythene in plastic bags, and other products. It was initially considered a non-toxic and inert material, however, the number of uses of plastics make harmful effects. Therefore, plastic products provide a serious environmental burden to society. Wind and water can cause the plastics to transfer from one place to a different place and make plastic ... Read More

Introduction Plants suck water from soil with the help of roots for metabolic reactions and it's a continuous process. Only a small amount of water is used by plants and the remaining water is lost by transpiration. The water is lost in the form of water vapour. Transpiration is the process of loss of water in the form of water vapour. Transpiration occurs mainly through stomata. Apart from these, it can happen through surfaces of leaves, aerial parts, flowers, and stems. Vascular plants like grass lose water in the form of water droplets from the tips or margin of the ...
