Respiration is basically an energy releasing and supplying process. It held in each cell of the plant. Its primary stages take place in the cytoplasm and secondary stages in mitochondria. Actually respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert kinetic energy from nutrients … Read more
The following table shows the comparison among Auxin, Gibberellin and Cytokinin: Auxin Gibberellin Cytokinin It is an organic acid: Indole radicle-Auxin a(auxenotriolic acid): C18H32O5, auxin b(auxenolonic acid): C18H30O4 and hetero auxin(indole acetic acid): C10H9O2N. It is also organic acid-5-ringed diterpenoids. Its chemical formula is C19H22O6 (GA3). It is also an organic alkali: 6-furfuryl amino purine … Read more
Citric acid cycle consists of number of reactions which produce NADH and FADH₂ and then they are used by the oxidative phosphorylation pathway to make ATP which then passes through the electron transport system. The citric acid cycle happens in the matrix of the mitochondria of the cell. The oxydation of pyruvic acid takes place … Read more
Gibberellin The gibberellin is the plant hormone that contains diterpenoids organic acid and acts as growth regulator of the plants. The fungus Gibberella fujikuroi is responsible for fooling seedling disease or bakanae disease. Eiichi Kurosawa ( a Japanese scientist) first identified this disease in 1926. Later on, Tokyo University showed that this fungus Gibberella fujikuroi … Read more
The term ‘ferment’ is derived from the Latin word ‘fervere’ meaning “to boil.” In the late 14th century, alchemists described fermentation process and it became the subject of scientific investigation in the 16th century. In the 1860s, Louis Pasteur studied the fermentation process. In 1897, German chemist Eduard Buechner first used fermentation process scientifically and … Read more
The word respiration is derived from the Latin ‘respirare’ meaning to breathe. Generally, respiration is the physio-chemical process which leads to the chemical breakdown of materials to provide energy for life. It occurs inside the living cells of all types of organisms (from prokaryotic bacteria and Achaeans to eukaryotic protests, fungi, plants, and animals) to … Read more
