Riya can receive blood from both Ayush and Ishoo as her blood type is AB and she can receive blood from types A, B, AB and O (AB is the universal recipient: recipients with AB blood are compatible with any other blood type).

Thromboplastin is a complex enzyme that is found in brain, lung, and other tissues and especially in blood platelets and that functions in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in the clotting of blood—called also thrombokinase.

Sunlight first activates chlorophyll and thus the chlorophyll become excited and it releases high energy rich electron and thus the chlorophyll become electron deficient. This electron deficient chlorophyll for getting it's electron thus splits the water to release hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion.

Cellular Respiration is divided into two series of biochemical reactions: anaerobic and aerobic reactions. Anaerobic reactions occur in the cytoplasm of the cell and aerobic reactions occur in the mitochondria of the cells.

Aerobic repiration has glycolisis continued with Krebs cycle. In anaerobic respiration glycolisis ends with lactic acid in human, Fermentation only has glycolisis with the end product being fermented and transform to acetic acid

The Krebs cycle (or citric acid cycle) is a part of cellular respiration. Named after Hans Krebs, it is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to generate energy.

A glomerulus is a network of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron. As It serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood for removing waste and excess water from it, that's why It acts as a dialysis bag.

As Chlamydomonas is a genus of green algae which are unicellular (single-cell), about 10 micrometres in diameter that swims with two flagella (flagellates). They are found in stagnant water and in damp soil, in freshwater, seawater. As these are unicellular plants also known to be unicellular algae, there is no point of having any kind of transport system in their body.

A parasitic plant is a plant that derives some or all of its nutritional requirements from another living plant. Cuscuta has no chlorophyll and cannot make its own food by photosynthesis. Instead, it grows on other plants, using their nutrients for its growth and weakening the host plant. So, Cuscuta and Orchids are the examples of parasitic plants.
