Basic biology is the founding core of life sciences. It studies the fundamental principles that regulate biological systems, starting from the structure and function of cells, through biomolecules, mechanisms of transmission of genetic information, metabolic processes, and interactions between organisms and the environment.
This section is dedicated to the in-depth study of key concepts such as:
Life cycles and mechanisms of reproduction. Understanding these topics is essential for more advanced disciplines such as genetics, physiology, microbiology, and biotechnology. The goal is to provide a coherent and integrated vision of the fundamental biological processes common to all living beings.
Introduction Algae, plural for “alga”, is a diverse range of photosynthetic organisms that inhabit a multitude of environments, from the sea depths to freshwater bodies, even dwelling in soil, rocks, and ice. Although often considered primitive plants, algae lack the…
Introduction Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), often referred to as the ‘energetic currency of life’, is a critical organic molecule present in all forms of life. This molecule plays a vital role in various biological processes, such as chemical synthesis, mechanical work,…
The field of biology is an ever-evolving one, opening up new vistas of understanding about the microcosmic world within us. One such microscopic structure that plays a crucial role in the process of reproduction is the acrosome. This article provides…
Introduction Achondroplasia, a form of short-limbed dwarfism, is the most common genetic disorder affecting skeletal growth. This condition occurs in approximately one in every 15,000 to 40,000 newborns, impacting both males and females equally, and is seen in all ethnic…
Introduction Acetyl-coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) is a critical biomolecule, serving as a key player in many biochemical reactions across various organisms. It is a central molecule in metabolism, involved in the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids, and the generation of…
Aceraceae are commonly known as the maple family.
Acanthocephala are a phylum of parasitic worms that primarily infect vertebrates.
Abscission is a naturally occurring physiological process in plants that involves the shedding of unnecessary or non-functional parts such as leaves, fruits, or flowers. This crucial process enables plants to conserve resources, manage their growth, and survive in diverse environmental…
The animal world is a theater of wonders, a stage where nature shows ingenuity, adaptation, and mystery.
Unusual animals and their evolutionary characteristics (e.g., tardigrades, axolotls) Welcome to a new journey to discover the wonders of our planet. Today, we will go beyond the beaten paths, where nature manifests itself in unusual and surprising forms. Let’s get…
