Hydroxyl Functional Group Properties and Structures

Hydroxyl Functional Group Properties and Structures

The hydroxyl functional group is the simplest of all the common organic functional groups. It consists of a hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom. It has two chemical properties: acidity, measured by its pK value, and nucleophilicity, or how reactive it is with other molecules. This post will focus on the properties and structures associated with this simple but essential part of biochemistry…

Cytosol Definition, Structure, and Functions

Cytosol Definition, Structure, and Functions

Cytosol is a liquid that fills the cell, and it’s also known as the cytoplasm, even though both terms aren’t used interchangeably. When we talk about cells, we often think of this liquid as watery. However, this fluid has many other components like protein molecules, lipids (fats), metabolites, and ions. This blog post discusses what cytosols are made up of and how their composition changes depending on where they’re found!…

Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is found throughout the body, from the nose to the ends of our fingers. Cartilage can be rigid and stiff or soft and flexible depending on its location in the body. This article will examine cartilage definitions, structure, functions, and characteristics to help you better understand how it works!…

Analogous and Homologous Traits Explained

Analogous and Homologous Traits Explained

In biology, traits are features of an organism that can be passed on to its offspring. There are two types of biological traits: homologous and analogous. These traits are also referred to as structures.Homologous traits are similar because they share a common evolutionary origin, while analogous traits have a common function but not an evolutionary origin…
