A Hidden Universe:Microbiome of Human Gut

INTRODUCTION  We human beings look at ourselves as a system of organs made up of cells and tissues. But after noticing humans on microscopic level,it is seen that we are a bustling city—a home to trillions of tiny organisms. The community of these tiny organisms such as bacteria, viruses,fungi and other microbes is called the gut microbiome and with several inventions in microbiology, scientists now know that microbiome in gut of human beings play an essential role in everything from digestion to mood to immunity.  In this blog post, we will explore the microbiome present in gut of human beings by knowing about its importance in regulating other organs as well. Sup WHAT IS GUT MICROBIOME? All the microorganisms residing in the intestines of human beings is referred to as the gut microbiome. If we talk about the population of these microbes,it is estimated to be around 100 trillion which even outnumbers the human cells. They are known to be powerful on...

ATOMIC THEORIES

INTRODUCTION  The fundamental concept in physics and chemistry which describes the structure and properties of atoms is known as atomic theory. The building blocks of any matter are atoms and it is important to understand the composition and behavior of atoms for explaining several phenomena in the natural world. From centuries, atomic theory has evolved significantly, from ancient philosophical ideas to modern quantum mechanical models. Many scientists and Philosophers have contributed in the development of atomic theory and it has been a gradual process. It has undergone significant transformations over a period of time ,from Democritus' ancient idea of indivisible atoms to the modern quantum mechanical models. Every stage of development has provided new insights into the nature of atoms and their behavior.  Super In this blog post,we will look into the concepts or theories which led to the development of modern quantum theory for atoms. This will also reveal t...

The Global Health Threat:PANDEMICS

INTRODUCTION  A disease which has a global outbreak and affects millions of people across multiple countries or even continents is known as a Pandemic. Throughout human history,the phenomenon of pandemic is recurring which causes widespread illness,death and disruption to societies. Recently, the world has witnessed various pandemic,including the most highlighted pandemic which was known as COVID-19. It is essential to understand the pandemics, their causes, their impacts so that people can prepare themselves for such global health threats. In this blog post,we will discuss about the most famous pandemics along with their causes,impacts and prevention strategies.  Sup MAJOR PANDEMICS IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND Since ancient civilizations, pandemics have significantly affected human beings by causing widespread illness which lead to death and disruption of society. Some of the most important pandemics which couldn't be unnoticed are as follows: ●Prehist...

How Cells Make Energy!

INTRODUCTION  As we know ,that the basic building blocks of life are the cells as they have the ability to grow and reproduce,however these processes requires energy to take place. The energy which cells need for survival is obtained from the food we eat,plants obtain it from sunlight,water and nutrients from the soil. The food we eat is converted into the form of energy known as Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP) which is also known as the energy currency of the cell and it is used to power several cellular processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulses and biosynthesis. Sup In this blog post,we will know about the energy process by which cells make energy such as the process of cellular respiration,photosynthesis and Fermentation. CELLULAR RESPIRATION  The process by which cells generate energy from the food we consume is known as cellular respiration.  It is a complex process which involves the breakdown of glucose and other organic molecules t...

FORMS OF ENERGY

INTRODUCTION  The fundamental concept in physics which plays an important role in our daily lives is that of Energy. Behind every physical phenomena, be it a movement of any physical object or the functioning of complex system,the driving force is the Energy. It comes in several forms each with its own unique characteristics and applications. To harness and utilize the energy in an effective manner it is necessary to understand the different forms of energy. It is a vital component for powering our homes,industries and transportation systems. It is also required for most of the biological processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Energy must be used in a critical way for sustaining life on earth and mitigating the impacts of human activities on the environment. It comes in many forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy,thermal energy,electrical energy,chemical energy, nuclear energy and radiant energy. Across the globe, the demand for energy is con...
