INTRODUCTION  A critical process which prevents the spoilage,poisoning and contamination of food by microorganisms is known as preservation of food. It involves several techniques in maintaing the quality,texture,flavor and nutritional value of food products. From centuries, this method is followed,just the difference lies in the techniques used,earlier drying,smoking and salting methods were used but today methods such as canning,freezing,pasteurizartion and irradiation are used. The process of preserving the food holds an utmost importance as it provides us with many benefits such as: >   The techniques of preservation increases the shelf life of the food making it available for a longer period of time. >   The preservation methods prevents the poisoning and contamination of food by the microorganisms.  >   The techniques of preservation maintains the quality and nutritional value of the product thus our health and well-being are not compr...

INTRODUCTION  A type of cell which has the unique ability to develop into many different types of cells in the body is known as a Stem Cell. This ability of the stem cells make them a powerful tool for regenerative medicine that aims at either repairing or replacing the damaged or diseased tissues. WHAT ARE STEM CELLS? The cells which have the ability to differentiate into many different types of cells are known as Stem Cells. These cells can be found in several parts of the body such as : ●Embryonic Stem Cells:  Such cells can be found in embryos and have the ability to develop into any cell type in the body.  ●Adult Stem Cells:  Such cells can be found in adult tissues and have the ability to develop into specific cell types. PROPERTIES OF STEM CELLS  Stem cells have various unique properties, however two if them are as follows: ●Self-Renewal: These cells can divide and renew themselves and this allows them to maintain their population....

INTRODUCTION  An intricate network of relationships between organisms living in the ecosystem are known as Food webs. They demonstrate the flow of energy and nutrients from one species to another. Such complex interactions are considered very important as they maintain the balance and stability of ecosystems. It is essential to understand the food webs for managing and conserving natural resources in a better way. In this blog post,we will explore the food webs along with its key components, importance, types and applications.  WHAT ARE FOOD WEBS? A graphical representation of the feeding relationships between different species within an ecosystem is known as Food Web. This food web is distributed over different trophic levels which are as follows: ●Primary Producers:  They can also be called simply producers as these organisms such as plants and algae,produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis by using water and sunlight. ●Herbivores:...

INTRODUCTION  It is estimated that there are 37.2 trillion cells that work together to make the human body function and to keep it alive. However,the complex human body have basic building blocks called cells which lay the foundation of almost all the living creatures. A cells is the fundamental unit of life and can be found from a tiniest bacteria to the complex human body. The function of generating energy and synthesizing proteins are all done by cells irrespective of their small size,with most cells measuring 10-100 micrometer in diameter. Cells are of various types around 200 in a human body and each one of them plays crucial role in maintaining the health and well being of a human body. Each cell has their own characteristics,structure and functions. It is quite essential to understand the different types of cells to appreciate the beauty and complexity of human body. Studying the different cells will help us in acknowledgement of our health and preven...

INTRODUCTION   The environment supports us in laying the foundation of our lives on earth by providing us with air,water,food and shelter but the nature of humans to always want more is increasingly threatening the environment. Every action of a living being counts and making efforts collectively would yeils significant results for protecting our environment. In this blog we will discuss some of the key concerns for environment and how to protect it. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS ● Deforestation and land degradation: ☆Cutting down of trees to meet the needs of growing population like for agriculture,mining and building houses which eventually leads to degradation of soil in that area is known as deforestation and land degradation respectively. ☆According to an estimation 13 million hectares of forests are lost annually which has lead to the emissions of greenhouse gases,soil erosion,changes in climate,water scarcity and loss of habitats for endangered species. ...
