Introduction. Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, essential for the propagation of all living species. In bacteria, cell division occurs by the ingrowth of the envelope layers to form a septum that splits the cell into two compartments. When and where does cell division takeRead More →

There are four possible general rules involving the reactions of salts in the aqueous environment: (1) if the salt is formed from a strong base and strong acid, then the salt solution is neutral, indicating that the bonds in the salt solution will not break apart (indicating no hydrolysis occurred)Read More →

The Pacific Ocean generates the greatest number of tropical storms and cyclones. The most powerful storms, sometimes called super typhoons, occur in the western Pacific. The Indian Ocean is second in the total number of storms, and the Atlantic Ocean ranks third. Where do all tropical storms form on Earth?Read More →

According to the CDC, a superinfection is an “infection following a previous infection especially when caused by microorganisms that are resistant or have become resistant to the antibiotics used earlier,” while a coinfection is an infection concurrent with the initial infection. What are some examples of superinfection? Common organisms inRead More →

Ultrafiltration occurs when fluid passes across a semipermeable membrane (a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but not others) due to a driving pressure. Is ultrafiltration done by glomerulus? The first step in urine formation begins with a passive process of ultrafiltration at the glomerulus. The term “ultrafiltration”Read More →

Every year between 2 and 5 solar eclipses occur, each one visible only in a limited area. So, most calendar years have 2 solar eclipses. The maximum number of solar eclipses that can take place in the same year is 5, but this is rare. Does the solar eclipse happenRead More →
