The following points highlight the six main components of cytoplasm of bacteria. The components are: 1. Ribosomes 2. Molecular Chaperones 3. Nucleoids 4. Plasmids 5. Cytoplasmic Inclusions 6. Spore and Cysts. Component # 1. Ribosomes: All living cells contain ribosomes which act as a site of protein synthesis. High number of ribosomes represents high rate of protein synthesis and vice [...]
In this article we will discuss about the characteristics of fungi. The fungi are cosmopolitan in distribution, some are aquatic, others are terrestrial and still others are air borne. Many are parasitic on plants, animals and human beings. The plant body typically consists of branched and filamentous hyphal form, a net like structures called as mycelium. The hyphae are aseptate [...]
