What is the composition of Fungal cell walls? Fungi are eukaryotes and have a complex cellular organization. In eukaryotes, fungal cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus where the DNA is wrapping around histone proteins. A few types of fungi have structures comparable to bacterial plasmids (loops of DNA). Fungal cells also …

Algal cell wall surfaces are made up of a varied selection of fibrillar, matrix and also crystalline polymers communicating with different ions and even water. What the diverse variety of cell wall surfaces showed in the different algal teams is an indication of old transformative beginnings and also the eco-friendly …

Many plant cells have walls that are strong enough to withstand the osmotic pressure from the difference in solute concentration between the cell interior and distilled water. Plant cell walls vary from 1/10 to several µm thick.  The cell wall gives a definite shape and protects the protoplasm. It is non-living …

The simplest representation of a piece of nerve membrane is a simple RC– circuit as shown in Figure 1. The capacitance of a typical membrane, Cm arises due to the fact that there are layers of conductive and nonconductive (lipids) media. The capacitance of a typical patch of membrane is …

Eukaryotic cells contain a large, pale, spherical or oval body in their surrounding cytoplasm called Nucleus. It is the most prominent structure as if contains the genetic materials and also functions in the control of cellular activities such as protein synthesis, cellular growth, and reproduction either by asexual or sexual or …

Concentration gradients by which diffusion and osmosis operate are only partially effective when all needs of the plant are considered. Some essential materials, for example, are present in small amounts in the soil but used in greater concentrations by the plant. How do the plants retain such materials as they …
