Molecules move within the cell or from one cell to another through different strategies. Transport may be in the form of simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, osmosis, endocytosis, exocytosis, epithelial transport, or glandular secretion. This tutorial provides elaborate details on each of these mechanisms. Find out how. ..
Animals adapt to their environment in aspects of anatomy, physiology, and behavior. This tutorial will help you understand how animals adapt to their habitat. For instance, how animals thrive in aquatic habitat and are able to overcome osmosis. It also sheds light on the reasons animals adapt...
The movement of molecules (specifically, water and solutes) is vital to the understanding of plant processes. This tutorial will be more or less a quick review of the various principles of water motion in reference to plants. ..
The nucleus containing the genetic material, DNA, and the mitochondria, well-identified as the "powerhouse of the cell", came about. This tutorial speaks of the evolution of organelles, their diversity, and similarity...
Proteins have a crucial role in various biological activities. Get to know how proteins are able to perform as enzymes, cofactors, or regulators. In this tutorial, you will also know the common metabolic pathways of biomolecules, such as glucose and other carbohydrates, fats, proteins and amino acids, and essential nutrients...
