 In this blog, an attempt has been made to publish some questions and answers related to the topic Herbarium.   1.  A place where dried plant specimens are collected ?     a) Botanical garden     b) Herbarium    c) Arboretum   d) All of the above Answer: - Herbarium The term " herbarium " refers to a collection of dried plant specimens placed on paper sheets. The plants are often obtained in situ (i.e., where they were growing in nature), recognised by professionals, crushed, and then properly mounted to archival paper and stored in organized manner so that all main morphological traits are evident. Botanical Garden :- It is a live collection, cultivation and conservation  of different varieties of plants,  for the purpose of Scientific research, display and for education.  Arboretum :- For a greener, healthier, and more beautiful environment, the Arboretum fosters the planting and conservation of trees and other plants. It collects, explores, grows, shares knowledge

Nanotechnology is the study of science, engineering, and technology at the nanoscale, which is measured in nanometers. Many technological and industry sectors are benefiting from nanotechnology, including information technology, homeland security, medical, transportation, energy, food safety, and environmental research, to name a few.  It has numerous application in everyday life science and medicine. Nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all other scientific fields like Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Engineering.         Table of contents Biological application of Nanotechnology in Medicine Nanobiotechnology used in tissue engineering Nanotechnology used in Electronics Nanotechnology used in Environment Application of nanotechnology in cloth industry Application of nanotechnology in Cosmetics Application of nanotechnology in Food industry 1.

Biotechnology is the application of biology to the development of technologies and goods for human benefit. Therapeutics, diagnostics, processed foods, waste management, energy production, and genetically modified crops are just a few of the fields where it can be used. It is the use of biology and other techniques to change or adapt things for specific human use.  Table of Content Application of biotechnology in medicine Application in Pharmaceutical drug development Industrial application of  Biotechnology Application of biotechnology in Agriculture Manufacturing power fibers Application in Food processing Application in Environment Application in Cosmetic Industry 1. Application of biotechnology in medicine In the medical field, biotechnological techniques are utilized to diagnose and cure various disorders. Gene and DNA molecules are used in genetic engineering techniques such as rDNA technology, Gene therapy, and PCR to identify disease and insert new and healthy genes into the bo

For the growth of microorganism in invitro conditions a suitable medium is necessary. So for the  growth of  microorganisms in any artificial condition, a liquid, semi solid or solid medium is designed to support the growth of microorganisms and the medium is known as microbial culture medium. There were different classification of microbial culture medium:- 1.Based on the concentration of solidifying agent used in the culture medium. 2.Based on their Oxygen demand. 3.Based on the ingredients used in the medium Table of Content 1.Based on the concentration of solidifying agent used in the culture medium. 2.Based on their Oxygen demand. 3.Based on the ingredients used in the medium 1. Based on the concentration of solidifying agent used in the culture medium. The microbial culture is again classified in to three, based on the concentration of agar agar.  a) Solid medium Here, 2% of agar concentration is used. By using the above culture medium, bacteria can be identified easily. One of t

Bacteria are the oldest, abundant single celled prokaryotic microorganisms seen on our surroundings. They can thrive in diverse environments and most bacteria are harmless. They play a major role in maintaining our ecosystem. An interesting fact is that our human body is also inhabited by some of them. They have plenty of applications in the field of agriculture, medicine and pharmacology.  However, relatively some strains of bacteria  are considered as pathogens and cause infectious disease. Now a days bacterial infections can easily treated with vaccines and antibiotics. A major threat is that bacterial strains are become antibiotic resistant. Bacteria can be classified in to gram positive and gram negative depending upon the staining methods. Here, In this article we will focus  on the top 10 infections caused by different bacterial strains. Let’s discuss about the top 10 infectious bacterial disease:-  Table of content 10.  Cholera (watery diarrhoea) 9.  Botulism 8.  Shigellosis 7.
