DNA is much longer than mRNA and forms a chromosome, whereas mRNA is much shorter; corresponding to a single gene. DNA is structurally different; it is usually found as a double helix and contains the bas...

Neurons are required to send messages at high speeds over long distances. For example, reflex reactions occur in the order of fractions of seconds, and some neurons carry messages over 1m in distance.Acco...

Plants carry out photosynthesis which contains the light dependant and light independent reaction . CO2 is used in the light independent reaction- the Calvin cycle. Co2 enters the stroma in a chloroplast ...

Light that falls onto a photosystem excites two electrons in a chlorophyll molecule, causing the electrons to leave the molecule by Photoionization. These two electrons are absorbed by the thylakoid membr...

Structurally, DNA and RNA are very similar. They're both composed of a backbone of sugar, a phosphate group and a chemical base. However, the sugar in DNA is a deoxyribose sugar and the sugar in RNA is a ...
