They are […]
Science > Biology > Applied Biology > Human Health and Diseases > Disease A major cause of ill health is ignorance, for example, ignorance about a balanced diet, or about the harmful effect of tobacco and alcohol. To achieve and maintains good health, basic knowledge about the body should be a part of education. Good […]
Science > Biology > Applied Biology > Human Health and Diseases > Community Hygiene Some health measures can be undertaken only by the community as a whole. Community hygiene includes water source protection, proper disposal of solid waste and excreta, wastewater drainage, controlling animal rearing and market hygiene. It is the responsibility of the community leader with legal […]
Science > Biology > Applied Biology > Human Health and Diseases > Personal and Domestic Hygiene Health does not simply mean the absence of disease or physical fitness. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Thus WHO […]
Science > Biology > Botany> Morphology of Plants > The Leaf The body of a typical flowering plant can be divided into the underground root system and aerial shoot system. The shoot system is heterogeneous. The shoot system (stem) is an aerial and erect part of the plant body that grows upwards. It is usually above […]
Science > Biology > Botany> Morphology of Plants > Modification of Stem In this article, we shall study the modification in stem in some plants for performing the functions other than its primary function. Primary functions of the stem are To support and orient the leaves in a manner that they are exposed to maximum sunlight […]

Science > Biology > Botany> Morphology of Plants > Modification of Roots In this article, we shall study the modification of roots for the purpose of food storage, respiration, support, etc. Roots in some plants change their shape and structure and become modified to perform functions other than absorption and conduction of water and minerals. […]
Science > Biology > Botany > Morphology of Plants > The Root In this article, we shall study morphology of root, different regions of root, and different types of roots. Morphology: Morphology is a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features Importance of Morphology: […]
