________________
Hydrogen Bond: Bonding of atoms is due to electro-static field, existing on both the atoms. Hence it is a weak bond.
Impuritons: These molecules behave as quasi-particles. They diffuse in quantum vacancy in quantum crystals.
Life: Life of a cell is a non-stop communication between several thousands of protein macro molecules and partly bound water molecules.
Light Spectrum of Molecules: Molecules can rotate like a rigid rotator and vibrate like a spring. Discrete energy states exist in atoms due to orbital motion of electrons, the rotational and vibratory motion of molecules. An excited molecule returns to ground state by emitting photon of energy. This process gives rise to rotational and vibratory spectra in case of molecules.
Pudgala: It is a lump of the smallest particles of matter, called Atoms. (These are different from atoms in Physics)
Protein: It is a chain like macro-molecule and presents itself in 20 different amino acid components. It is the base substance of cellprotoplasm, not found in plants.
Quantum Crystal: It is a special state of matter, occupying an intermediate position between the quantum liquid and the classic crystal.
Quantum Vacancy: If in a molecule, the vacant position of electron or molecule is not strictly specified, it is called 'quantum-vacancy'
Radical: It is a free charged-atom. E.g. An atom of oxygen. It carries negative charge, and is called "oxygen anion" or "oxygen radical".
Somatic System: Somatic system in a human body connects brain with the spinal chord. Communication from sense organs is received through it. The instructions to act are given from here to the limbs.
Somatids: Small photon-lights, seen sometimes on the ends of clusters, as sparkling light, are called somatids. They have a negative electric charge.
Zeta Potential: It is negative electric charge. It maintains the dispersion of particles in colloids, as in blood.
Zygote: When an egg is fused with a sperm, the resultant mass starts multiplying and produces characterized cell. It is called a "zygote". It is an independent builiding brick of a separate life With this knowledge of a few scientific terms, we start exploring the life without DNA & RNA.
