Blood Clotting: The process of blood clotting has several stages: 1- Blood platelets are ruptured by the injury. 2- They release thromboplastin. 3- Thromboplastin turns prothrombin in thrombin. 4- Thrombin converts the liquid fibrinogen in solid fibrin fibres which create a web at the wound. 5. The blood cells caught in the web form a […]

Why Do Stars Twinkle? Because of the difference in densities among the layers of atmosphere, the density of the atmosphere as a whole is not consistent. The layer at a higher altitude is less cold and denser than the layer present at a lower altitude. Because of this as we go upwards, the refractive index […]

A large number of bacteria or fungi frequently use the process of spore formation as a means of reproduction. During this process, a filamentous structure called sporangium is formed from fungal hypha. A large number of nuclei are produced when nucleus in sporangium gets divided. Each of the nucleuses then gets enclosed with cytoplasm resulting […]
