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)

Atoms are composed of Electrons, protons and Neutrons. Protons and Neutrons together called as Nuclei.

The minimum amount of energy required for a particular reactants to convert into products and is called as Activation Energy.

This activation complex is also termed as Transition State because according to Transition State Theory at transition state the existing bonds tend to increase in length and become weaken while, the new forming bonds tend to decrease in length and start becoming stronger.

Hence, the activated complex is in transition between reactants and products.

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, formerly Latinized as Algorithmi,was a Persianscholar who produced works in mathematics, astronomy, and geography under the patronage of the Caliph Al-Ma'mun of the Abbasid Caliphate.

He also developed the concept of the algorithm in mathematics, which is why some have called him the "grandfather of computer science".

His name gave rise to the terms algorism and algorithm.

The two broad categories of software in a computer are

1. System software
2. Application software

System software controls how the system works and enables user to access all of the system hardware and application software

The OS, utility programs and drivers come under system software.

Application software are software used by the user to perform specific task. They are installed according to the user's requirements.

The word processor, web browser, players, spreadsheets etc... come under this application software.

Biogeochemical cycles are crucial to ecosystem function because ::

1. Chemical elements are available in only limited amounts and must be recycled.

2. Nutrients and other life-sustaining molecules are in limited supply and must be continually recycled.
