MICROBIOLOGY

MICROBIOLOGY  Microbiology is the scientific study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. These microorganisms are too small to be seen with the naked eye and play a vital role in various ecosystems, including the human body. ● Branches of Microbiology: 1. Bacteriology : The study of bacteria, including their structure, function, and role in disease. 2. Virology : The study of viruses, including their structure, function, and role in disease. 3. Mycology : The science of the fungi, their form, function, and disease causing capability. 4. Parasitology : The science of parasites, their form, function, and disease causing capability. ● Applications of Microbiology 1. Medicine: The very science of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases. 2. Food and Beverage Industry: Determines the safety and quality of foods; fermentation of beverages and foods. 3. Environmental Science: It is used to understand the role of m...

Major Inventions in Physics Part-II

OPTICS AND PHOTONICS  1. Telescope (1608):  -An optical instrument which allows us to observe and study distant objects in the universe like stars,planets,galaxies and other celestial bodies. -A Dutch spectacle maker Hans Lippershey in 1608 discoverd the first practical Telescope. -However,in 1609 an Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei improved his design and created a more powerful and accurate Telescope. -Over the years, many significant changes has been done to increase it's effectiveness and reliability. -It is used for Astronomical research, exploration of the space by scientists,for studying the Earth's atmosphere which improves weather forecasting,for inspiration of people about astronomy and universe. -It works on the following principles: •Light collection:It collects light from a distant object like stars or planet. • Focus and magnification: The light collected is focused and magnified by the telescopes optics thus creating an image. •Observat...

Incredible Biology

Introduction >Biology and it's Importance   The study of structure,function,growth,origin,evolution and distribution of living organisms is known as Biology. This word is derived from two Greek words bios meaning life and logos meaning study.There are several branches of biology:- Anatomy Botany Ecology Genetics Marine biology Microbiology  Molecular biology Physiology  Zoology. > Importance of Biology  We can't deny the fact that biology holds a very important place in our day to day lives like:- -It helps us in learning the interaction between living organisms. -It helps in the treatment of diseases by developing new medicines. -It helps us in producing food in bulk for the increasing population. -It helps us understand the changing environment. >Incredible diversity of Life on Earth The existence of variety of genes,species and ecosystems as well as their interactions is termed as Biodiversity. It is of three types:- *Species diversity: It is ...
