Biological Classification

History History of biological classification is as old as human culture. Human beings started giving names to the animals and plants and classified them on the basis of their use Our Vedic literature (2500 BC to 650 BC) recorded about 740 plants and 250 animals. The first attempt of classification is observed in Chandyoga Upanishad, which classified animals into three categories (1) Jivaja (viviparous), eg. mammals (2) Andaja (oviparous), eg, birds, reptiles, insects and worms (3) Udbhija (vegetable origin), eg, minute animals In Post-Vedic Indian literature, such as Susruta Samhita, all living forms are classified into 5thavara (immobile). Le, plants and Jangama (mobile), eg., animals. Plants were further divided into Vanaspati (fruit yielding, nonflowering plants), Vriksa (fruit yielding, flowering plants) and Osadhi (plants provide medicine). Susruta Samhita also classified animals into Kulacara (herbivores that frequently visit river banks, eg. Elephant, Buffalo, etc., Matsya (fish

C.V. Raman

Albert Einstein

Overview Albert Einstein was a German physicist often remembered for his favour theory of general relativity and special relativity.  Early Life Einstein as a kid, when he was 6 years old Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. He was very unhappy with the rigid discipline of the schools of his native Germany, went at age of 16 to Switzerland to complete his education. One of Einstein's teachers once called him a "lazy dog". Works and Contributions  Throughout his life, he published hundreds of books and papers. Einstein's early papers were to demonstrate that atoms exist and have a finite non zero size. In his paper on the electrodynamics of moving objects in 1905 he introduced his theory of special relativity. In this paper he proved that the speed of light is independent from the state of observer. He postulated that light itself consists of localised particles called quanta. His theory was nearly universally rejected by all physicists but becam

Gauss's Law

Overview Gauss's Law states that the flux of the net electric field through a closed surface is equal to the net charge enclosed by the surface divided by E0. Discovery German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss proposed the Gauss's law in 1835. Gauss's Law was proposed by the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Inclusion bodies (Cell organelle)

Overview Reserve material in prokaryotic cells are stored in the cytoplasm in the form of inclusion bodies. These are not bounded by any membrane system and lie free in the cytoplasm. Inclusion bodies include phosphate granules, cyanophycean granules and glycogen granules. Some other inclusion bodies maybe surrounded by a single layer non unit membrane which is 2 nanometers thick. Discovery Fritz Jacob Heinrich was a German-born American neurologist, discovered inclusion bodies. Fritz Jacob Heinrich Lewy described the pathology of Paralysis agitans [Parkinson disease] and was the first to identify eosinophilic inclusion bodies in neurons of certain brain nuclei, later known as Lewy bodies, the pathological signature of the Lewy body diseases.
