Pollination is a process in sexual reproducing plants by which the pollen grains from the anther is transferred to the stigma of the gynoecium and thereby enable fertilization. Pollination is an essential step for sexual reproduction in seed plants (Spermatophytes – Gymnosperms and Angiosperms) to produce the seeds. In plants (typically in Angiosperms), the pollination […]

Difference between Asexual and Sexual Reproduction
Reproduction is a biological process by which new individuals (progenies) are formed from their parents. There are two types of reproductions in organisms: sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. The present post summarizes the similarites and difference between Sexual and Asexual Reproduction in Plants with a comparison table Asexual reproduction A method of reproduction, usually present […]

Properties and Characteristics of Alpha Particles, Beta Particles and Gamma Rays
Alpha vs Beta vs Gamma Rays Unstable atoms on radioactive decay emit particles such as alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. These are energy particles, and by producing these energy-rich particles the unstable radioactive atom tries to attain atomic stability. The present post discusses the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of alpha, beta and […]

Difference between Alpha, Beta and Gamma Rays – Comparison Table
Alpha Rays vs Beta Rays vs Gamma Rays An unstable atomic nuclei loss its energy by emitting radiations such as alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays by a process called radioactive decay. A substance with such an unstable nucleus is called the radioactive substance. The particles produced by radioactive decay, i.e., alpha particles, beta […]

Difference between Cyclic and Noncyclic Photophosphorylation – Comparison Table
Cyclic Photophosphorylation vs Non-cyclic Photophosphorylation Difference between Cyclic and Non Cyclic Photophosphorylation: The process of photosynthesis is completed in two main steps – Light reaction and Dark reaction. The Light reaction is the light-dependent reaction where the assimilatory powers (ATP and reduced coenzymes) are generated in the grana of chloroplasts. During the light reaction, photolysis […]
