THE SOLAR SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION  In this blog post,we will discuss the topic which has fascinated abd captivated humans for centuries and today also,research and exploration are active in this area. The solar system is a vast and complex place which consists of eight planets,dwarf planets,asteroids, comets and other objects which revolve around the Sun in their respective orbits. The Sun is considered as the center of the solar system as it accounts approximately for the 99.8% of the total mass. It is a massive ball of hot and glowing gas which provides light and heat to the planets. Let's discuss more about the planets,other objects of the solar system,it's formation and evolution and the explorations which had been made in the solar system so far.

Exploring the Plant Kingdom

INTRODUCTION  The vast and diverse groups of organisms which play an important role in sustaining life on Earth are the members of the plant kingdom also referred to as KINGDOM PLANTAE. Be it the tiny microgreens in your salad or the towering tress in the luscious forests,all plants are the vital parts of our planet Earth.  In this blog post,we will explore the enchanting world of plants along with their characteristics,classification and importance. CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTS  The multicellular eukaryotic plants have magnificent set of characteristics which differentiate them from other organisms. Some of the key characteristics of plants are as follows: ● Cell walls: The rigid cell wall is composed of cellulose,hemicellulose and pectin. ● Chloroplast : The sole organelle in plants which is responsible for photosynthesis. ● Roots,Stems and Leaves : The presence of these three structures helps the plants in absorption of nutrients,carrying out photo...
