• Houseflies belong to the order Diptera and genus Musca.

• Robert Hooke coined the term "cell" (from the Latin cella, meaning "small room") for the box-like structures he observed when viewing cork tissue through a lens.

The word 'Cell' first introduced by Robbeor Hooke.

• It is almost 19.9 inches long and is commonly known as the thigh bone.

• One can evaluate that femur is the longest bone just by looking at his/her thigh.

• It runs from the hip down to around the knee area.

• It's most common in developing countries with a limited food supply, poor hygiene. and a lack of education about the importance of giving babies and children an adequate diet.

• It is housed at the Kolkata-based Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC) under the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE)

• It will be first and only cyclotron facility in country to produce Germanium 68 radioisotopes, which is used in diagnosts of breast cancer.

• Anaerobic means "without air". Therefore, this type of cellular respiration does not use oxygen to produce energy.

• The simple tissues are parenchyma, sclerenchyma and collenchyma.

• Parenchyma makes a major part of ground tissues in plants, where other tissues like vascular tissues are embedded.

• Oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood are transferred across the placenta to the fetus through the umbilical cord. This enriched blood flows through the umbilical vein toward the baby's liver.

• They are made up of bundles of elastic fibres and few collagen fibres.
