UNBELIEVABLE FACTS ABOUT CELLULAR METABOLISM
Introduction Cellular metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur within a living cell to maintain life. It involves the processes by which cells convert nutrients into energy, synthesize new molecules, and eliminate waste products. There are two main…
PRENATAL CARE OVERVIEW
Prenatal or antenatal care refers to the medical attention and care provided to a pregnant woman and her developing fetus during pregnancy. The goal of prenatal care is to monitor the health and development of the mother and her baby,…
TYPES, PROPERTIES AND USES OF X-RAYS EXPLAINED
Types of X-rays X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through different substances, including human tissues, and create images that can help diagnose medical conditions. There are several types of X-rays, and each is used to visualize…
A GUIDE TO X-RAYS
Introduction X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of ultraviolet light and longer than gamma rays. They were discovered in 1895 by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who named them “X-rays” because their nature…
SIMPLE TIPS ABOUT EDDY CURRENTS YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS
Introduction Eddy currents are electric currents that are generated in a conductor when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field. These currents are often referred to as “foucault currents” or “parasitic currents.” When a conductor is placed in a…
PARTIAL IONIZATION OF WEAK ACIDS AND WEAK BASES
Introduction Partial ionization is a phenomenon that occurs when a weak acid or a weak base is dissolved in water. In this process, only a small fraction of the molecules of the acid or base dissociate into ions. A weak…
A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO BUFFER SOLUTIONS
Introduction A buffer solution is a type of solution that can resist changes in pH when small amounts of an acid or a base are added to it. Buffer solutions are commonly used in chemical and biological experiments where maintaining…
CONCEPT OF pH
Introduction pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity (alkalinity) of a solution. It is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, where…
STANDARD SOLUTIONS AND DILUTION FACTOR
Introduction A standard solution is a solution whose concentration is accurately known. It is used as a reference or comparison against other solutions in chemical analysis or experiments. A standard solution is usually prepared by dissolving a precise amount of…
SHAPES OF MOLECULAR COMPOUNDS
The shapes of molecular compounds are determined by the arrangement of their atoms and the number of lone pairs on the central atom. The most common shapes are linear, planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral. Here are the shapes for…
