factor vii
(Science: chemical) heat– and storage–stable plasma protein that is activated by tissue thromboplastin to form factor viia in the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. The activated form then catalyses the activation of factor x to factor xa.
Chemical name: Blood-coagulation factor VII
If the balance of nature is left untouched, landscapes can change dramatically over time. A previous ecosystem is superseded by the arrival of a newer ecosystem. This is known as ecosystem succession. Learn more about it here...
This lesson looks at population attributes, regulation, and growth. It also covers population genetics, particularly genetic variations, natural selection, genetic drift, genetic migration, and speciation...
Plants are responsible for incredible feats of molecular transformation. Plant processes, such as photosynthesis, photophosphorylation, chemiosmosis, carbon fixing reactions, respiration, are presented in this tutorial...
Plants, like animals, produce hormones to regulate plant activities, including growth. They need these hormones to respond well to their environment and to sustain growth, development, and dispersal. Plant biologists recognize five major groups of plant hormones: auxins, gibberellins, ethylene, cytokinins, and abscisic acid. Find out in this guide the importance of each hormone in the life of a plant...
The human respiratory system is an efficient system of inspiring and expiring respiratory gases. This tutorial provides details of the different parts and functions of the respiratory system...
