During T cell differentiation, the naive T cell becomes a blast cell that proliferates by clonal expansion and differentiates into memory and effector T cells. Many subsets of helper T cells are created during T cell differentiation and perform vastly different functions for the immune system. Do T cells replicate?Read More →
The process by which if insulating myelin is present on an axon then the nerve impulses that is conducted will “jump” from gap to gap in the myelin layer. Salta in spanish= jump. How does saltatory conduction occur in axon? The arrival of positive ions at this node depolarises thisRead More →

Within the mitochondrion, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative metabolism occurs at the internal folded mitochondrial membranes (cristae). Where does citric acid cycle occur? In eukaryotes, the reactions of the citric acid cycle take place inside mitochondria, in contrast with those of glycolysis, which takeRead More →
Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins. What causes protein synthesis to occur? Instead recognition and binding to the ribosome rely on a component thatRead More →
Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy. Photosynthesis used carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration stores ATP, while photosynthesis releases ATP. Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen. Are photosynthesis and cellular respiration inversely related? Cell respiration and photosynthesis are essentially opposite processes. PhotosynthesisRead More →
This settling often occurs when water flow slows down or stops, and heavy particles can no longer be supported by the bed turbulence. Sediment deposition can be found anywhere in a water system, from high mountain streams, to rivers, lakes, deltas and floodplains. What cycle is sedimentation part of? sedimentaryRead More →
