Chromatin structure showing DNA wrapped around histones in a nucleosome
Biology

Chromatin: Euchromatin vs Heterochromatin

A single human cell holds about two meters of DNA, yet its nucleus measures only around 10 micrometers. This tight packing isn’t random—it’s managed by specific proteins that fold and organize the DNA into structured fibers. Without this organization, the DNA couldn’t fit or function properly inside the nucleus. This study guide explains how chromatin …

Translation in Biology: From Codons to Proteins

Every second, cells build thousands of proteins that shape your body—forming muscles, transporting oxygen, and controlling chemical reactions. This nonstop production depends on a process called translation in biology, where a ribosome reads mRNA and links amino acids in the correct sequence. In this guide, you’ll follow how cells decode genetic information using mRNA, tRNA, …

Endocytosis Overview: Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, Vesicles

White blood cells catch bacteria by wrapping their membrane around them and forming a vesicle. The cell doesn’t move or grab anything—it changes shape from the inside. This is how materials enter the cell without breaking the membrane or letting in unwanted substances. This study guide explains endocytosis, including phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. You’ll …
