DECODE The Script of LIFE

  Although both are types of cell division and follow very similar steps, they consist of different processes: Mitosis Meiosis Cell divisions 1 2 Result 2 cells with the same genetic material. 4 cells with half the number of chromosomes as the initial cell. Function Asexual reproduction (unicellular), tissue growth and repair (multicellular). Sexual reproduction . Sperm and egg production. It occurs in Somatic cells. Germ (sex) cells. Organisms All. Humans, animals, plants and the fungi kingdom. Duration Short. Long.

Within the bustling microcosm of cells and body fluids, inorganic ions play their silent symphony. These charged particles, each with its unique role, orchestrate the dance of life. Let’s explore their significance: Hydrogen Ions (H+): These tiny warriors influence pH levels. Acidic solutions have higher H+ concentration, while alkaline solutions have fewer H+ ions. pH balance is crucial for enzyme activity, cellular processes, and overall health. Iron Ions (Fe2+ and Fe3+): Iron is the backbone of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells. Hemoglobin binds oxygen, ensuring its transport throughout the body. Iron deficiency leads to anemia, affecting energy levels and overall well-being. Sodium Ions (Na+): Sodium ions are essential for co-transport. They work alongside glucose and amino acids, ensuring their efficient uptake by cells. Sodium-potassium pumps maintain cell membrane potential. Phosphate Ions (PO43-): Phosphates are building blocks of DNA and ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
