CHROMOSOMES- Antimony explains

 What is a chromosome?


 In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes.😮 Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.


Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.




Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or “arms.” The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the “p arm.” The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the “q arm.” The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes.


DNA and histone proteins are packaged into structures called chromosomes. 🤠 remember Histone is also Histone protein.

CELLS-Antimony explains😊

  What is cell? Maybe you have heard of that word before..🤔   Cell is the basic building blocks of all living things.😋  intresting right?.  The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s hereditary material and can make copies of themselves.😊😐 Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, called organelles, are specialized structures that perform certain tasks within the cell. Human cells contain the following major parts which am going to list in alphabetical order: Cytoplasm Within cells, the cytoplasm is made up of a jelly-like fluid (called the cytosol) and other structures that surround the nucleus. Cytoskeleton The cytoskeleton is a network of long fibers that make up the cell’s structural framework. The cytoskeleton has several critical functions, including determining cell s

(0.6)HISTORY OF ATOM- Antimony explains

Ohh. Now in 1920 this Scientist;Erwin Schrödinger vex and scatter everywhere with his new hypothesis.🤓 Erwin Schrödinger was a revolutionary physicist who used Heisenberg’s  uncertainty principle to come up with the atomic model that we still use today. SCHRÖDINGER’S ATOMIC MODEL (AKA THE CLOUD MODEL)  After doing a lot of work he concluded these salient points am going to alight now. They include: 1. An electron does not travel in an exact orbit😗 2. We can predict where it will probably be😙 3. We cannot say for certain where it is, but only where it ought to be.😚 4. The type of probability orbit is dependent on the energy level described by Bohr☺ Let's now summarize what we know of atoms. The smallest part of an element is called an atom Each atom (of an element) is different in structure from  other atoms (of other elements) An atom can be divided in smaller subatomic particles: Protons, Electrons and Neutrons The nucleus is the centre of an atom. It contains protons and neut

WHY THE SKY IS BLUE-Antimony explains

  Antimony-Explains Why is the sky blue? It’s a common misconception that the sky is blue because it reflects the blue of the seas and oceans. A lot of myths have also been told about our blue sky😉. That is why Antimony is here for you. To debunk those non relevant ideas.😊 As for the seas reflection it is very wrong. In fact, it’s the Earth’s atmosphere, and a process known as 'scattering', that causes our skies to be blue.   So what is this scattering. As white light passes through our atmosphere, tiny air molecules cause it to ‘scatter’. The scattering caused by these tiny air molecules (known as Rayleigh scattering) increases as the wavelength of light decreases. Violet and blue light have the shortest wavelengths and red light has the longest. Therefore, blue light is scattered more than red light and the sky appears blue during the day. When the Sun is low in the sky during sunrise and sunset, the light has to travel further through the Earth’s atmosphere. We don’t see t
