As we all know, cells are the building blocks of living things. So, a combination of cells performing similar functions is a tissue. These tissues form organs. Most eukaryotic organisms function as...

The primary breakdown of glucose-6-phosphate is the formation of pyruvate through glycolysis. The pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle to form ATP, the energy currency for the cell. Glucose-6-phosphate...

Martin Lewis Agar, a specialized culture medium, is a valuable tool in microbiology and clinical laboratories. It is particularly effective in isolating and identifying pathogenic Neisseria species,...

The combination of two Greek words, haima meaning blood and poiēsis meaning to produce something, forms the word hematopoiesis. So, hematopoiesis means forming blood cells (WBCs, RBCs, and...

During fasting, vigorous exercise, and hypoglycemic conditions, the body requires high glucose. Gluconeogenesis converts non-carbohydrate molecules like glycerol, pyruvate, lactate, glucogenic amino...

Glycogen, an energy reservoir in animals, is a highly branched molecule or polysaccharide. It is present in the liver and skeletal muscles. When there is lack of glucose in blood, glycogen serves as...
