Chick embryo development
Chick embryo development is a fascinating and complex process that involves a series of morphological changes from fertilization to hatching. Chick embryos are an excellent model organism for studying development due to their accessibility and similarity to human development. The development of a chick embryo involves six major steps: fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, neurulation, organogenesis, and…

Enzymes : classification
Enzymes are incredibly important biomolecules that play a crucial role in the proper functioning of living organisms. They catalyze specific chemical reactions, making it possible for various biological processes such as metabolism, DNA replication, and cell signaling to occur efficiently. The structure of enzymes is complex, with different levels of organization, including the primary, secondary,…

GPCR Signalling Pathway
The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling pathway plays a vital role in transmitting signals from extracellular molecules, such as hormones, to intracellular effectors. This pathway involves a series of steps, including hormone binding to the GPCR, activation of the G protein, signal transduction, termination of the signal, and ultimately leading to a cellular response. The…

Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a fundamental process that occurs in green plants and other photosynthetic organisms. It is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose and other organic compounds. This energy is then used to fuel the metabolic processes of the organism. Photosynthesis is vital to the survival…

ABC Model of Flowering
The ABC model of flowering is a genetic and molecular framework that explains how plants transition from vegetative growth to reproductive development. The model proposes that three groups of genes, referred to as A, B, and C genes, work together to regulate this process. A genes are responsible for initiating the flowering process independently of…
