Amino acids are a crucial, yet basic unit of protein, and they contain an amino group and a carboxylic group. They play an extensive role in gene expression processes.

Amino acids become proteins when 50 or more are bonded together in a chain. All the millions of different proteins in living things are formed by the bonding of only 20 amino acids.

Eight of these amino acids are essential and cannot be produced by the body.

They are:

• Leucine

• Isoleucine

• Lysine

• Threonine

• Methionine

• Phenylalanine

• Valine

• Tryptophan

•  Histidine is an amino acid that is categorized as semi-essential since the human body doesn't always need it to properly function

Nonessential amino acids are produced by the human body either from essential amino acids or from normal protein breakdowns. Nonessential amino acids include:

• Asparagine

• Alanine

• Arginine

• Aspartic acid

• Cysteine

• Glutamic acid

• Glutamine

• Proline

• Glycine

• Tyrosine

• Serine.

Osmosis is the process in which water molecules move from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower potential down a water potential gradient across a partially permeable membrane. It doen't requires any additional energy to do this work. 

So, Osmosis is a Passive.

Active and passive transport processes are two ways molecules and other materials move in and out of cells and cross intracellular membranes.

1. Active transport is the movement of molecules or ions against a concentration gradient (from an area of lower to higher concentration), which does not ordinarily occur, so enzymes and energy are required.

2. Passive transport is the movement of molecules or ions from an area of higher to lower concentration. Passive transport occurs because of the entropy of the system, so additional energy isn't required for it to occur.

3. Active transport requires energy to proceed, while passive transport does not require the input of extra energy to occur.

'M' is used as a unit of molarity and stands for mole per litre i.e, number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Dubai has become the first city in the world to get its own Microsoft font.

ii. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council, launched the Dubai Font recently.

iii. The font, available in three styles as 'Dubai', 'Dubai Medium' and 'Dubai Light', can be in italics, underlined and bold.
