Physiological Properties of Hormone – Synthesized or secreted by living endocrine glandular cells, Transported by blood or other chemical messengers, Does not provide building material for body function but regulate the growth, differentiation, and metabolic…

Peptidases It is a proteolytic enzyme which degrades peptidase. It is a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptides or peptones to amino acids. It is an enzyme that performs proteolysis: protein catabolism…

Hydrolysis is the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water. The term mechanical digestion refers to the physical breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller pieces which can subsequently be accessed…

Carbohydrate (CHO) Digestion and Absorption Carbohydrates are broken down to provide glucose for energy. They are nutrients that provide your body with energy. Digestion predominantly occurs via enzymes lining the wall of the small intestine…

DNA and RNA: a Competitive View DNA DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid DNA is self-replicating. DNA is mainly found in the chromosomes (in the nucleus of it cell). DNA has double stranded helix and both the helical…

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus but a small amount of DNA can also be found in…

Nucleic acid are long thread like macro-molecules of high molecular mass present in the nucleous of all living organisms. Nucleic acids are important because they make up genetic information in living things. Nucleic acid was first…

Here explain Protein name with their nature and function. Collagen: Normal protein remains as the formative constituent of connective tissue, skin cartilage. It is converted into gelatin when boiled with water. Keratin: the Formative constituent…

Proteins are complex nitrogenous organic compounds which are linked together by the peptide bond. It is a condensation polymer, polyamide. Proteins are the group of complex organic macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and…

Peptide Bond: During the formation of a peptide, the amino (-NH2) group of one α – amino acid & the Carboxylic (-COOH) group of another molecule of same or different α  AA get condensed with…

Carbohydrate The foods which mostly contain the constituent of sugar or glucose are called carbohydrates. For example: rice, wheat, flower, maize, corn, sugar, molasses etc. Plants are the only source of carbohydrates. In our daily…

Muta-rotation: α-and β-forms show specific rotation of + 113° of glucose and + 19° respectively. It is the change in the optical rotation because of the change in the equilibrium between two anomers, when the…
