A cell is the structural and fundamental unit of life. The study of cells from its basic structure to the functions of every cell organelle is called Cell Biology. Robert Hooke was the first Biologist who discovered cells
two types of cell
1) Prokaryotes
2) Eukaryotes
Characteristics of Cells
1) Cells provide structure and support to the body of an organism.
2) The cell interior is organised into different individual organelles surrounded by a separate membrane.
3) The nucleus (major organelle) holds genetic information necessary for reproduction and cell growth
The concept of lewis acids and bases can explain the acidic nature of CO2. A lewis acid is a compound which can accept an electron pair whereas a lewis base is a compound which can donate an electron pair. CO2 acts as a lewis acid.
When solutions of sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid are mixed, the equation for the hypothetical double displacement reaction is: Na2CO3 + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + H2CO3 Bubbles of a colorless gas are evolved when these solutions are mixed.
