Mobile Development: The Viewport Meta Tag

The viewport meta tag is crucial for responsive web design on mobile devices. It controls how the browser displays a webpage on different screen sizes. Here's a breakdown of its key attributes:

Key Attributes

• width: Defines the viewport width. Typically set to device-width, which matches the device's screen width.
• initial-scale: Sets the initial zoom level. A value of 1 ensures the webpage is displayed at 100% zoom initially.
• user-scalable: A boolean attribute. Setting it to no prevents users from zooming in or out.

Cellular Respiration

1. Definition and Chemical Equation

Cellular respiration is the chemical reaction in which glucose and oxygen are converted into water, carbon dioxide, and energy (ATP). The balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ --> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + ATP

2. Location of Respiration

Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of living cells.

3. Phases of Respiration and ATP Production

Cellular respiration occurs in three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and results in a net gain of two ATP molecules.

4. ATP and Energy Production

ATP provides energy to the cell when it is broken down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate,... Continue reading "Cellular Respiration and Cell Cycle: Key Concepts and Processes" »
