Biology Questions

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesized and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles.

The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural compartments or organelles. In eukaryotes, the organelles of the endomembrane system include the nuclear membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, endosomes and the cell membrane, among others.

Herbivorous organisms are those that take for their food, plant parts like leaves raw in contrast to vegetarian, which means that plant products are taken raw or after being cooked.

Genes which are segment of DNA of a cell contains instructions for assembling proteins.

Nucleotides are the building blocks of the DNA and RNA used as genetic material. Nucleotides also are used for cell signaling and to transport energy throughout cells.

Both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are made up of nucleotides which consist of three parts::

1. Nitrogenous Base
2. Pentose Sugar
3. Phosphate Group.

Nucleus serves as the control center for cell metabolism and reproduction.

Genes: The DNA is the genetic material. The DNA is made of several nucleotides. A nucleotide means, one nitrogenous base one sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. These Nucleotides occur in sequences and several nucleotides form one gene ( a functional gene is called a cistron)

Spleen is called as the graveyard of RBC Red Blood Cells where they are selectively destroyed/recycled by macrophages.
