Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy and consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Proteins perform diverse functions for cells like metabolism, structure, and acting as enzymes or carriers, and get their name from the Greek word meaning "first". Fats are lipids that are insoluble in water and are also called triglycerides. Nucleic acids like DNA and RNA store genetic information and enable protein production.

Introduction to biochemistry
Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry. By using chemical knowledge and techniques, biochemists can understand and solve biological problems
Carbohydrates
The document discusses carbohydrates and classifies them into three categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that serve as building blocks for other carbohydrates. Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides bond together, while polysaccharides are long chains of many monosaccharide units bonded together. Carbohydrates provide energy through catabolism, energy storage in plants and animals, and serve structural roles in cell walls and exoskeletons. Their general formula is CH2O.
Nucleotide Metabolism
This document discusses nucleotides, which are organic molecules that consist of a nucleoside and one or more phosphate groups. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. It describes the components of nucleotides, including pentose sugars, phosphate groups, and nitrogenous bases. It also outlines the two pathways for nucleotide biosynthesis in cells: de novo synthesis, where nucleotides are synthesized from simple precursors, and salvage pathways, which recover bases and nucleosides from degraded DNA and RNA. The document provides details on purine and pyrimidine synthesis, including key enzymes and structural analog inhibitors that are used as anticancer drugs.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
