The cell is the functional and structural unit of all living organisms. The eukaryotic cells are present both in the plants and animals. The cells have various shapes, sizes, and physiology. Each cell is composed of cell membrane, cytoplasm, different organelles , nucleus, and ergastic substances. Cytosol is the part of cytoplasm which contains over 70% … Read more
Nitrogen is the necessary component of life, which is essential to all life-forms. The naturally available environmental nitrogen is inorganic, which convert into organic compounds like ammonia by the presence of nitrogen-fixing organisms. These natural nitrogenous products are taken up by plants and animals. The excess amounts of these products are removed in the form … Read more
All types of cells are bounded by a thin, porous selectively permeable membrane which is known as the plasma membrane, cell membrane, plasmalemma or cytoplasmic membrane. It distinct the content of cell from the outside environment. Carl Nägeli and Carl Cramer first discovered the term cell membrane in 1855 while Janet Quentin Plowe given the … Read more

There are various cell organelles in the cell. They do many important functions inside the cell. Among the cell organelles, lysosomes are present in the eukaryotic cells while both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells bear ribosomes. Lysosomes are bounded by membrane and different types of digestive enzymes are present here. It is also known as the … Read more
