Post a CommentYou really helped me for a biiology test
thanks you helped me with my school work
its wonderful ,fantastic , great job ,every minute details r there which imparts a huge info 2 us,well done its really outstanding!!!
Wow...you are so smart. You have taken a complex thing in biology and made it simple. You must be one very intelligent man. Well done.
The cancer drug study is fighting the cell from the powerhouse instead of the DNA.
What up, Saikat? I got every one of these wrong on my SAT test for Brain Surgery. Next time, I'll pass, thanks to you, big guy. :)
Wow this information would have been great when I had takien my biology class. I love the fact that you are a zoologist. I have a B.S. in Environmental and Resourse Science however, I wish I have graduated with zoology.
Interesting article!
Good data for those studying biology :)
Cells, excellent , now I recognised very few names here so this is very informative infact I may even try and explain these cell names in a poem or something. Nucleus etc is one I know quite well and the blood cell one. Great very informative and simple to read. Well done Saikat Kumar Dutta.
