General Science Questions

Triglycerides are the primary form of dietary fat found in the body, and may contain a combination of three fatty acids:

saturated fatty acids (SFAs),

polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), or

monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs).

The Study of Blood is called as Hematology which involves treating diseases that affect the production of blood and its components, such as bloodcells, hemoglobin, blood proteins, bone marrow, platelets, blood vessels, spleen, and the mechanism of coagulation.

Glycolysis is common between Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration.

Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is broken down to form ATP molecules, which act as carriers of cellular energy. The first phase is called glycolysis and is common to both aerobic (respiration in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (respiration in the absence of oxygen) respiration.

During glycolysis, glucose is split to forms two pyruvate molecules and 2 molecules of ATP. This occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

If oxygen in present, the pyruvate molecules will be used in the Krebs cycle, to yield more ATP molecules. If oxygen is absent, the pyruvate is converted into lactic acid, or ethanol and carbon dioxide, in animals or plants, respectively. 

DPT refers to a class of combination vaccines against three infectious diseases in humans: diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus.

Pertussis refers to whooping cough.

Carbon monoxide is a common atmospheric pollutant in the world which is produced in combustion process in automobiles and industries. It has no smell and cannot be seen.

The four most common soil erosion prevention methods are vegetation, geotextiles, mulch, and retaining walls.

By planting grass in areas of concentrated water flow, farmers can prevent much of the soil erosion that results from runoff, as the grass stabilizes the soil while still providing an outlet for drainage.

Preventing soil erosion is critical in protecting your property and exposed soil, whether from wind, weather, running water, and even the after-effects of the forest fire.
