Calcium in Biology – PowerPoint Presentation
This presentation explains the biological importance of calcium ions (Ca²⁺), their role as a second messenger, calcium homeostasis, and intracellular signalling mechanisms. It covers calcium-ATPase, the sodium–calcium exchanger, calmodulin, calcium-dependent protein kinase activation, muscle contraction and relaxation, the troponin complex, phosphorylase kinase activation, and epinephrine-mediated glycogenolysis.
Topics Covered:
• Biological functions of calcium ions
• Calcium homeostasis and transport mechanisms
• Calcium as a second messenger
• Calmodulin and protein kinase activation
• Role of calcium in muscle contraction and relaxation
• Troponin and tropomyosin regulation
• Activation of phosphorylase kinase
• Epinephrine signalling, cAMP and glycogenolysis
Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Biology, Zoology, Botany, Biochemistry and Physiology. Useful for classroom teaching, revision and examination preparation.

Walsh Diagram – Lecture 1 is a comprehensive study material covering the fundamental concepts and systematic construction of Walsh diagrams. It explains the relationship between molecular geometry, bond angle, molecular orbital energy, VSEPR theory, Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT), and Group Theory. The notes include the rules for drawing Walsh diagrams, symmetry analysis of atomic orbitals and ligand group orbitals, and symmetry-allowed orbital combinations. A detailed H₂O molecule case study compares linear (D∞h) and bent (C₂v) geometries, including molecular orbital diagrams, bond order, and changes in orbital energy with bond angle. The final section explains the Walsh energy diagram and the factors responsible for orbital energy changes during bending.
This study material explains the Walsh diagram of NH₃, illustrating the variation of molecular orbital energy with molecular geometry. It helps students understand the relationship between bonding, orbital symmetry, molecular geometry, and electronic structure of NH₃. The material is useful for students studying Molecular Orbital Theory, Chemical Bonding, and Group Theory at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
This study material provides a complete laboratory procedure for the potentiometric estimation of ferrous ammonium sulfate (FAS) using standard potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) solution. It covers the principle of potentiometric titration, the role of the platinum indicator electrode and saturated calomel reference electrode, the redox reaction involved, experimental procedure, observation table, graphical determination of the equivalence point, and calculations for determining the amount of FAS present in the given sample.
