What are Mollusc : Biology Blog

Image
                          Phylum Mollusca (clade) – mollusks  very successful phylum: over 93,000 named, living species The largest number of living species for animals after Arthropoda  mostly aquatic, but over 35,000 terrestrial species (more than all terrestrial vertebrates)  includes snails, slugs, clams, oysters, chitons, cuttlefish, octopi, etc.  from microscopic to 21 m (giant squid – largest invertebrate)  economically important (food, ornamentation, currency, pests)  Defining Characteristics Of Mollusks:   Bilateral symmetry with true coelom ; usually have a differentiated head unsegmented (some argument as to whether lost during evolution or never present in phylum)   Three main body parts : muscular foot, visceral mass, and mantle muscular foot – used for locomotion, food capture, attachment  · may be solid or have tentacles or maybe a “wing” ...

Cell Cycle - Phases , Diagram , Types and Comparison

Image
                                                                                         Cell Cycle In every organisms Cell continuously undergoes a series of events like growth , development & reproduction and completes its life cycle called the Cell Cycle . After the formation  of the Cell , it  first goes  under   resting period where they grows in size, its nuclear material increases, and prepare itself  for the next division. Duration of cell cycle - The duration of the  every cell cycle varies to  25 – 30 hr in different cells except  in case of  organisms like in Ecoli, the cell cycle is completed in 20 minutes, Stages of the cell cycle – Interphase - Interphase is the interval period b...

Function Of Essential Amino Acid

Image
                                     Amino Acid Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid. Amino Acids Structure Amino acids have the general form H2NCHRCOOH. (or)   General properties of Amino Acids ·          Amino acids are soluble in water and insoluble in hydrocarbon solutions. ·          They are crystalline solid substances. ·          They have very high melting point compared to their boiling point. List of Amino Acids There are around twenty amino acids, which are involved in the construction of proteins. The lists of twenty amino acids are: Alanine, aspartic acid, asparagines, arg...
