A blood group also called a Blood Type
Classification of blood is based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs)
These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system.
The ABO blood group system is the most important blood type system (or blood group system) in human blood transfusion.
ABO blood types are also present in some other animals for example rodents and apes such as chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas.
It is the liquid connective tissue. It is composed of an extracellular matrix called as blood plasma that dissolves and suspends various cells and cell fragments

Prokaryotes are always unicellular, while eukaryotes are often multi-celled organisms. Additionally, eukaryotic cells are more than 100 to 10,000 times larger than prokaryotic cells and are much more complex. The DNA in eukaryotes is stored within the nucleus, while DNA is stored in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes
Difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell.pptxAmjad Afridi
Eukaryotic cells have several other membrane-bound organelles not found in prokaryotic cells.
These include the mitochondria (convert food energy into adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, to power biochemical reactions); rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum ,golgi complex and in the case of plant cells, chloroplasts
All of these organelles are located in the eukaryotic cell's cytoplasm.
Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi.
The word 'myco' is derived from the Greek word mýkēs meaning “mushroom, fungus”.
Heinrich Anton de Bary is the father of Mycology.
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that include such as yeasts, moulds and mushrooms. These organisms are classified under kingdom fungi.
Fungi are diverse and widespread.
Fungi metabolism consists on a series of reactions (biochemical reactions) constantly occurring inside the cells to keep it alive and active and in the results biosynthesis of a huge number of compounds.
These compounds area usually divided into primary and secondary metabolites.
Primary metabolism is common to several species and usually produces compounds with the function of assuring fungi growth and development.
Primary metabolites are involved in the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms.
The primary metabolites consist of vitamins, amino acids, nucleosides and organic acids
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes staphylococcal food poisoning, a form of gastroenteritis with rapid onset of symptoms. S. aureus is commonly found in the environment (soil, water and air) and is also found in the nose and on the skin of humans.
Communicable diseases are illnesses that spread from one person to another or from an animal to a person, or from a surface or a food. Diseases can be transmitted during air travel through: direct contact with a sick person. respiratory droplet spread from a sick person sneezing or coughing.
Host-Parasite relationship is the extreme case of animal association, in which both partners influence each others life by affecting each others metabolism and behaviour using different adaptive mechanisms in order to ensure their survival.
Bacteria have their own enzymes for
1. Cell wall formation
2. Protein synthesis
3. DNA replication
4. RNA synthesis
5. Synthesis of essential metabolites
Infections spread from animals to human are called zoonotic infections.
The term zoonos is’ Derived from the Greek
ZOON (animals) and NOSES (diseases)
Pathogens shared with wild or domestic animals cause more than 60% of infectious diseases in man.
Ozone (O3) is a molecule made up of three atoms of oxygen (O), and very reactive gas.
Bluish gas that harmful to breathe.
Is mostly found in the stratosphere, where it protects us from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Although it represents only a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, ozone is essential for life on Earth.
Ozone in the stratosphere— a layer of the atmosphere between 15 and 50 kilometers (10 and 31 miles) above us—acts as a shield to protect Earth’s surface from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation.
H: Infects only Human beings
I: Immunodeficiency Virus weakness the Immune system and increases the risk of infections
V: Virus that attacks the body and finally kills the body’s immune system
Tuberculosis is a communicable chronic granulomatous disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis , where the center of the granuloma is Caseous necrosis

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Erythrocytes
• Also called Red Blood Cells
• Have no nucleus
• Thin plasma membrane
• A lipid bilayer membrane covers the cell’s cytoplasm
• Do not have cell organelles
• Shaped as a biconcave disk
• Primary component hemoglobin (Hb)
• 7.5 µm in diameter
Erythrocytes are the functional component of blood involved in
the transportation of gases and nutrients throughout the human
body.
3. • Because of the lack of a nucleus, erythrocytes cannot
divide and thus need to be continually replaced by
new cells synthesized in the red bone marrow.
• The lifespan of red blood cells is about 120 days, and
the development of red blood cells from stem cells
occurs in about seven days via the process of
erythropoiesis.
4. Structure of Erythrocytes
• The mature human erythrocyte has a biconcave, discoid shape and is
anucleated. They are approximately 7.5 μm in diameter, 2.6-μm thick at the
rim, but only 0.75-μm thick in the center.
• The biconcave shape of the cell provides a large surface-to-volume ratio
and facilitates gas exchange.
5. • The average concentration of erythrocytes in
the blood is approximately 3.9-5.5 million per
microliter (μL, or mm3) in women and 4.1-6.0
million/μL in men.
• Erythrocytes are quite flexible, which permits
them to bend and adapt to the small diameters
and irregular shape of the blood vessels.
6. • The plasmalemma (Plasma membrane) of
erythrocyte, consists of about 40% lipid, 10%
carbohydrate, and 50% protein.
• A phospholipid bilayer membrane supports the
structure of the RBC & also covered the
cytoplasm of RBC, which is maintained by a
network of proteins that make up the
cytoskeleton.
7. • The cytoskeleton is composed of proteins like
spectrin, actin, band 3 (anion exchanger-1),
protein 4.1 (Beatty's Protein), and ankyrin, which
allows for cellular structural integrity as well as
malleability.
• The cytoplasm of erythrocytes lacks all organelles
but is densely filled with hemoglobin, which
allows the transportation of respiratory gases.
8. • The RBC membrane contains integral
and peripheral proteins.
• Integral proteins distinguish individuals in the
form of A, B, O, and AB blood types.
• They also support the internal structure and bind
hemoglobin.
• Peripheral membrane proteins are found on the
inner side of the membrane and help to make the
red blood cell extremely elastic.
9. Functions of Erythrocytes
• RBCs transport oxygen from the lungs to the
peripheral tissues to assist.
• The cells also collect the generated carbon
dioxide from the periphery and return it to the
lungs for elimination from the body.
Because of the lack of a nucleus, erythrocytes cannot divide and thus need to be continually replaced by new cells synthesized in the red bone marrow.
spectrin, actin, band 3, protein 4.1, and ankyrin,
Spectrin is a cytoskeletal protein that lines the intracellular side of the plasma membrane in eukaryotic cells.
Ankyrins are a family of proteins that mediate the attachment of integral membrane proteins to the spectrin-actin based membrane cytoskeleton.
What are the three integral proteins?
The glycophorins comprise three major proteins, glycophorin A (GPA), glycophorin B (GPB) and glycophorin C (GPC).
Examples of peripheral membrane proteins are proteins involved in electron transport chains, such as cytochrome c, cupredoxins, high potential iron protein, adrenodoxin reductase, some flavoproteins, and others.
