Introduction Social insects are more advantageous with respect to solitary insects over solitary insects. Many individuals in the colony increase systematic functioning, organised and efficient working, sharing information through specialised communication about the food resources. It helps in the foraging of the colony, in many cases retaining the memory of previous reward source and select […]
Introduction Bioluminescence is an example of chemiluminescence or light emission by chemical reaction in a living organism. ‘Bioluminescence’ is derived from Greek- ‘bio’ means living and ‘lumen’ means ‘light’. It is an enzyme-catalysed reaction, a process of conversion of light energy into chemical energy. The Greeks and Romans were the first to discover glowing organisms and sea […]
Introduction Beetles are found everywhere around us. They are very common insects. Beetles belong to the insect order Coleoptera. They can be easily identified by their hard armour-the elytra, giving the appearance of a big nut. Characteristics of Beetles Some of the key features of Beetles are as described below.

Introduction For optimum health, the body must maintain a balance of acidity. Too much acidity or alkalinity in the body can have detrimental effects on health. Acidosis may result from specific health problems, prescription medicines, and dietary choices. While some types of acidosis are treatable, severe acidosis can be lethal if left untreated. What is […]
Introduction Symmetry describes the harmony or agreement between an organism’s dimensions. Since most living species share the form of symmetry they exhibit with their most recent common ancestor, symmetry is employed in the animal kingdom to both classify organisms and identify their common ancestors. Animal Characterization Using Body Symmetry Based on the symmetry of their […]
Introduction The stems of the plants are modified in various ways to match their adaptation requirements. These types of modifications can be in various types like underground, aerial, and sub-aerial. The stems that were modified in underground are bulbs, corms, rhizomes and tubers. The stems may match the plant’s roots but there are so many […]
Introduction The term bone can be defined as the rigid body tissue, which helps to make the body skeleton. It is made up of different types of cells that work as connective tissue. The basic function of the bone is to provide the structural base to the body and gives required mobility. Two types of […]
Introduction The cold-blooded, as well as warm-blooded animals are the most important part of the environment and they have different characteristics. The cold-blooded animals cannot survive in conditions where there is extreme temperature and some examples are reptiles and fishes. On the other hand, warm-blooded animals can maintain constant internal body temperature. They are able […]
Introduction The process of biochemical reactions that usually occur within the body is very important for a person to lead a very healthy life. In this case, health is maintained by the secretion of different enzymes lying inside the body of a human being. This is the reason behind the fact that the enzymes operate […]
Introduction In animal and plant cells extended structures such as Cilia and Flagella are found that help in locomotion. Together with the process of locomotion, these extended structures contribute to the function that involves, circulation, respiration as well as excretion. Moreover, these are used by organisms for capturing food and also consist of proteins that involve, nexin, tubulin and […]
