MCQ on Cellulose Synthesis in Plants: Cellulose is a carbohydrate (polysaccharide) composed of glucose molecules, serving as a structural component in plant cell walls. Cellulose biosynthesis in plants primarily occurs in the plasma membrane, where cellulose synthase enzymes (CESA) assemble glucose molecules into cellulose chains. These chains then form microfibrils, […]
Stomata are tiny pores found on the leaves and stems of plants, which are responsible for gas exchange and transpiration. In the previous post we discussed the Structure and Functions of Stomata. However, did you know that not all stomata are created equal? In this article, we will discuss the […]

Carboxysomes Learning objectives: What are Carboxysomes? Structure and Functions of Carboxysomes. Types of Carboxysomes. Applications of Carboxysomes in Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology In the previous post, we discussed the General Characteristics of Cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria use the energy of sunlight to drive photosynthesis. The fixation of CO2 is a prime event […]
Short-Day Plants vs Long-Day Plants Difference between Long Day and Short Day Plants: Photoperiodism is the response of plants (or any organism) to the lengths of dark and light periods in a day. The changes in the duration of light and dark periods in a day are called photoperiods. In […]
