Differentiation between Anaerobic Respiration and Aerobic Respiration

Differentiation between Anaerobic Respiration and Aerobic Respiration are as follows: Anaerobic Respiration Aerobic Respiration It occurs in absence of oxygen It require oxygen Incomplete oxidation of Substrate(Glucose) Complete oxidation of Substrate(Glucose) Occurs in cytoplasm Occurs in Mitochondria Lactic Acid is produced No Lactic Acid is produced 2 molecules of ATPs produced 38 molecules of ATPs produced product is ethyl alcohol/lactic acid, Carbon dioxide and 2 ATPs product is Carbon dioxide, water and 37 ATPs.

Types of Respiration

Three type of Respiration according to location External Respiration: occurs in the lungs where Exchange of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide take place between  Environment and Blood. Internal Respiration: occurs in the tissues where Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Exchange between  Blood and Tissue. Cellular Respiration: It is Utilization  of Oxygen within the Cells and Excretion of Carbon Dioxide by the Cell. Two type of Respiration according to oxygen use Anaerobic Respiration : occurs in the tissues when availability of oxygen is too low to undergo the process of aerobic Respiration. Respiratory substrate(Glucose) partially oxidised. The products of anaerobic respiration is ethyl alcohol/lactic acid, Carbon dioxide and 2 ATPs.   There are two main types of anaerobic respiration: Alcoholic fermentation  lactic acid fermentation In Alcoholic fermentation 2 Ethanol + 2 Co2 is produce, In lactic acid fermentation  2 lactic Acid produce. Aerobic Respiration: Aerobic Respiration requires oxygen in o

Nephrotic syndrome vs Nephritic Syndrome

The difference between Nephrotic  and Nephritic syndrome are as follows: Nephrotic syndrome is a group of symptoms that include massive proteinuria, Hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia. Nephritic syndrome is a group of disorders affecting kidney by causing inflammation and pores in glomerulus which results in passage of red blood cells(Hematuria) , Oliguria, Azotemia, hypertension.

Skin structure and it's function

The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes invasion. Layer of skin 1) Epidermis : •  stratum basale(inner) •  stratum spinosum •  stratum granulosum •  stratum licidum •  stratum corneum (outermost)       2) Dermis : The dermis is composed of three types of tissue that are present throughout - not in layers. The types of tissue are: • collagen • elastic tissue • reticular fibers Dermis also contain Hair follicle, sebaceous glang, sweat Gland, Blood vessel and Nerve. 3) Hypodermis Specialized Epidermal Cells of skin There are three types of specialized cells in the epidermis. • The melanocyte produces pigment (melanin). • The Langerhans' cell is the frontline defense of the immune system in the skin. • The Merkel's cell's function is not clearly known. Functions:  1) Sensation: contains a variety of nerve endings that jump to heat and cold, touch, pressure, vibration, and tissue
