Taxonomic studies of various species are used in various fields like agriculture, forestry, industry and also it helps us to know about our biodiversity. For correct identification of organisms, intensive laboratory and field studies are required. In this section of taxonomical aids, we will learn about how it is done.

Have you noticed how much you look like your parents? This is because our genes are passed down to future generations. This is done through nucleic acid, the vehicles of genetic inheritance of our cells. Let us learn a bit more about these fascinating biomolecules.

Have you ever noticed even though the entire inner compartment of a refrigerator is cold, outside or the back of a refrigerator is warm? This happens because of 'thermodynamic processes'. Let us now study the four types of thermodynamic processes.

If you are planning to construct a house, obviously there is a need to manage a large number of bricks; because they're the building blocks to your well-planned shelter. Similarly, atoms are the building blocks of matter which exist around us. Let us understand this concept in-depth and know what is an atom.

In 1896, A.H. Becquerel accidentally discovered radioactivity. Subsequent experiments show that radioactivity is a nuclear phenomenon which occurs when an unstable nucleus undergoes a decay. This is called Radioactive Decay. In this topic, we will learn about the Laws of Radioactive Decay.

You may have heard of scientists using mice or rats to do their research. Are these the same mice or rats we find around us commonly? No! Scientists use genetically modified mice or rats for their research. These are 'Transgenic animals'. Let's learn more about these animals.

Carbon is a fascinating element. It is known to form almost ten million different compounds most of which are chemical compounds that are organic in nature. Let us learn a bit about the chemical properties of carbon compounds.

Oxides of Nitrogen are a mixture of seven different gases & compounds which are form from nitrogen and oxygen. Nitric Oxide & Dioxide are common gases.

You probably think of acid as a dangerous substance. But did you know that you consume acid every day? Most of the food that you eat is acidic in nature. Why and how do we use a litmus paper? What is it?. Let's find out more about acids and bases.

All of us have had a vanilla cake or vanilla flavoured ice-cream at some point in our life. How many of us have thought how the particular flavour and fragrance is found in vanilla beans. Aldehydes and ketones help in addition of flavour and fragrance to nature. Few examples include cinnamaldehyde that adds flavour
