College vs. University

College: Usually offers more narrow programs and may not have graduate studies at all. Some universities use the term "college" to highlight a specific school of study encompassed within its institution.

University: Denotes a school that offers full undergraduate and graduate programs. Universities often devote themselves to research and are more focused on a specific subject.

Key Differences Summarized

• College:
  • Size: Smaller campuses and fewer students.
  • Program Types: 2-year and 4-year degrees.
  • Degrees Awarded: Certificates, Associate, and Bachelor's.
  • Enrollment: Open to all students.
  • Cost: Usually less expensive.
• University:
  • Size: Larger campuses and more students.
  • Program Types: 4-year and usually graduate programs.
  • Degrees Awarded:

Regulation of Enzyme Activity

Enzymes are the workhorses of cells, catalyzing the thousands of biochemical reactions that keep cells alive and functioning. The activity of enzymes is carefully controlled to ensure that the proper amount of product is produced at the right time.

Why Regulate Enzyme Activity?

There are several reasons why cells need to regulate enzyme activity. First, the concentration of substrates and products can vary widely within the cell. If enzyme activity were constant, the rate of the reaction would also vary wildly, depending on the availability of substrates. Regulation allows the cell to adjust the rate of the reaction to match the needs of the cell.

Second, the cell needs to coordinate the activities of different enzymes... Continue reading "Enzyme Regulation: Mechanisms and Examples" »

Inheritance in Java

Inheritance in Java is a mechanism where one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of another object. Inheritance represents the IS-A relationship, also known as a parent-child relationship.

Using inheritance, you can create a general class that defines common traits for a set of related items. This class can then be inherited by other classes, each adding its unique elements.

The keyword extends defines a new class from an existing class. The existing class is called the parent/base/superclass, and the new class is called the child/derived/subclass.

Here's a breakdown:

• Child classes inherit all members of their parent class.
• Child classes cannot access the private members of the parent class directly.
• To access private

Arithmetic Operations in Java

Input Form

<% String num1Str = request.getParameter("num1"); String num2Str = request.getParameter("num2"); String operation = request.getParameter("operation"); if (num1Str != null && num2Str != null && !num1Str.isEmpty() && !num2Str.isEmpty() && operation != null) { double num1 = Double.parseDouble(num1Str); double num2 = Double.parseDouble(num2Str); double result = 0; switch (operation) { case "add": result = num1 + num2; out.println("

Data Storage Conversion:

• 1 gigabyte (GB) equals 1,024 megabytes (MB).
• 1 megabyte (MB) equals 1,024 kilobytes (KB).
• To convert gigabytes to kilobytes, multiply by 1,024 twice. For example: 1 GB = 1,024 MB * 1,024 KB = 1,048,576 KB.
• To convert gigabytes to megabytes, multiply by 1,024. For example: 1 GB = 1,024 MB
• To convert 20 megabytes to bytes: 20 MB = 20 * 1,024 KB * 1,024 bytes = 20,971,520 bytes
• To convert 2 gigabytes to kilobytes: 2 GB = 2 * 1,024 MB * 1,024 KB = 2,097,152 KB

Example: SHKRONJA A has a value of 1010, B - 1011, C - 1100, D - 1101, E - 1110, F - 1111.

Binary Number Representations

There are three main ways to represent signed numbers in binary:

1. Signed Magnitude

• Positive Numbers: Standard binary representation.
• Negative Numbers: The
