hormone that plays a key role in women’s reproductive maturation. Progesterone is a steroidal hormone that helps to strengthen the womb for childbirth. Estrogen is generated by the Grafian follicle when it grows. The corpus luteum is the organ that produces progesterone. The ovaries release estrogen before ovulation. During pregnancy, the placenta also produces it. … Read more 10 Difference between Estrogen and Progesterone

What is Fick’s law of diffusion? Fick’s law of diffusion explains the diffusion process (movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration region). In 1855, Adolf Fick described the Fick’s Law of Diffusion. A diffusion process that obeys Fick’s laws is called normal diffusion or Fickian diffusion. A diffusion process that does NOT obey Fick’s laws … Read more Fick’s First Law: Definition, Derivation And Application
Modulus of rigidity is the ratio of shear stress to the corresponding shear strain within the proportional limit of a material. Modulus of rigidity is also known as shear modulus and rigidity modulus values of materials are determined by torsional tests. Modulus of rigidity formulas are G = τ/γ and G = E/(2(1+v)). Here τ … Read more Modulus of Rigidity: Definition And Equation
Poisson’s Ratio is defined as the ratio between the lateral contraction (expansion) strain to the longitudinal extension (contraction) strain when an object is subjected to an external tensile (compressive) force along its longitudinal axis. When a solid bar is subjected to tensile force along its longitudinal axis, the length of the bar increases in the direction of application of … Read more What Is Poisson’s Ratio?
What Is a Zygote? Zygote is a single cell that results from the fertilization of an egg by a sperm. It is also known as a fertilized egg or an embryo. The zygote divides to form a ball of cells called a blastocyst, which in turn divides to form the baby and other structures in … Read more 7 Difference Between Embryo And Zygote
What is Reducing Sugar? A reducing agent is a compound (like sugar) or an element (like calcium) that loses an electron to another chemical type in a redox chemical reaction. Reducing sugars, like glucose and lactose, have free ketone or aldehyde functional groups, which enable the formation of a hemiacetal, a carbon connected to two … Read more 12 Difference Between Reducing Sugar And Non Reducing Sugar With Examples
A molecular orbital is an orbital or wave function of a molecule’s electron. The function may be used to calculate the probability of finding an electron within a specified space or to predict the molecule’s chemical and physical properties. Robert Mulliken introduced the term “orbital” in 1932 to describe a one-electron orbital wave function. Electrons around a molecule can … Read more Difference Between Valence Bond Theory And Molecular Orbital Theory
