Lipid bilayers are fluid.
Individual phospholipids diffuse rapidly throughout
the two dimensional surface of the membrane.
The Fluid Mosaic Model
This is known as the fluid mosaic model of biological
membranes (mosaic because it includes
molecules other than phospholipids, such as
proteins, cholesterol, and other types of
molecules).

20.
21. The nuclear pore and envelope
Insures that the interior of the nucleus is isolated
from a cell's cytoplasm, allowing two different
environments to be maintained.
The membrane has two layers that enclose a
distinct space in between and marked by large
pores.
22. The nuclear pore and envelope
The membrane is very selective, permitting only
certain substances to enter or leave the nucleus.
In addition, the space contained within the
double-layered nuclear membrane is continuous
at points with the endoplasmic reticulum.

ribonucleoproeins, and each is related
to the biogenesis of ribosomes.

29. CHROMATINCHROMATIN
Chromatin is the name that describes nuclear
material that contains the genetic code.
The chromatin (meaning "colored substance")
contains DNA and proteins.
Chromatin gives rise to chromosomes.
31. HETEROCHROMATINHETEROCHROMATIN
The darkly stained, condensed region of the chromatin is
known as heterochromatin.
The heterochromatin occurs around the nucleolus and at
the periphery.
It is supposed to be metabolically and genetically inert
because it contains comparatively small amount of DNA
and large amount of RNA.

41. GRANULAR OR ROUGHGRANULAR OR ROUGH
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUMENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
It possesses rough walls because the
ribosomes remain attached with its
membranes.
The granular or rough type of
endoplasmic reticulum is found
abundantly in those cells which are
active in protein synthesis.
42. FUNCTIONS OF GRANULAR OR ROUGHFUNCTIONS OF GRANULAR OR ROUGH
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUMENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum also functions as
a transport system.
Protein molecules move from the rough ER
into the smooth ER, which then sends them
enclosed within the vesicles usually to the
Golgi complex.

The smooth type of endoplasmic reticulum
occurs mostly in those cells, which have no
active participation in the synthesis of
proteins.
It is involved in the synthesis of
LIPIDS, GLYCOGEN AND STEROIDS
46.
47. RIBOSOMESRIBOSOMES
The ribosomes are small, dense, rounded
and granular particles of ribonucleoprotein.
They are found either freely in the matrix
of mitochondria, chloroplast and cytoplasm
or found attached on the surface of the
endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus.
48. RIBOSOMESRIBOSOMES
Ribosomes are present in most prokaryotic
and eukaryotic cells.
They are the sites of protein synthesis
where amino acids are assembled to
produce the polypeptide chain.
51. The lysosomes are tiny, membrane
bounded, vesicular structures of the
cytoplasm which perform intracellular
digestion of the cell.
The term lysosome means digestive
body (Gr., lyso-digestive, soma-body).
LYSOSOMESLYSOSOMES
53. Cytoplasm of some eukaryotic cells
contains two cylindrical, rod-shaped,
microtubular structures, called
centrioles, near the nucleus.
CENTRIOLESCENTRIOLES
54. Centrioles lack limiting membrane
and DNA or RNA.
It gives rise to the mitotic apparatus
during mitosis or meiosis.
CENTRIOLESCENTRIOLES
55. In flagellated or ciliated cells
centrioles are found arranged just
beneath the plasma membrane to
form and bear flagella or cilia.
When a centriole bears a flagellum
or cilium, it is called basal body.
BASAL BODIESBASAL BODIES
56. Peroxisomes are organelles that
resemble lysosomes.
They are present in many animal
and plant cells.
They contain oxidative enzymes.
PEROXISOMESPEROXISOMES
57. Peroxisomes are distinguished by a
crystalline structure inside a sac which
also contains amorphous gray material.
They are self replicating, like the
mitochondria.
They also enlarge and bud to produce
new peroxisomes.
PEROXISOMESPEROXISOMES
58. Peroxisomes protect the cells from
the action of toxic substances like
hydrogen peroxide, or other
metabolites.

60. They have enzymes for fatty acid
metabolism and gluconeogenesis.
Glyoxisomes are present in yeast
and the oil rich seeds of many
plants.

62. MITOCHONDRIA
Mitochondria contain two
membranes, separated by a space.
Both are the typical "unit
membrane" in structure. Inside the
space enclosed by the inner
membrane is the matrix.
63. MITOCHONDRIA
The mitochondrial matrix
contains lipids, proteins, circular
DNA molecules, 70S ribosomes
and certain granules which are
related to the ability of
mitochondria to accumulate
ions.
64. MITOCHONDRIAL CRESTS
OR CRISTAE
The inner mitochondrial membrane
increases its surface area by giving out
plate-like or tubular invaginations called
MITOCHONDRIAL CRESTS OR CRISTAE
65.
66. MITOCHONDRIAL CRESTS
OR CRISTAE
Mitochondria replicate much like bacterial cells.
They undergo fission. This involves a furrowing of the inner
and then the outer membrane of the mitochondrion.
Then the two daughter mitochondria split.
Before the mitochondrion divides, the mitochondrial DNA
replication occurs.
Sometimes new mitochondria are synthesized.
71. CELL DIVISION

cells (body, growth)

daughter cells identical daughter cells different

72. CELL CYCLE
DIFFERENT PHASES OF CELL CYCLE
DNA synthesis occurs only during one phase of the cell cycle
called the S (synthetic) phase.
A gap of time occurs between the synthetic phase and the cell
division (Mitosis)
and another gap occurs after division and the next S phase.
Thus the cell cycle in eukaryotes may be divided into the mitotic
phase (M phase), G1 phase (the first gap) the S phase and the
G2 phase (the second gap).
Many cell types which are said to be in the resting stage,
suspend cell cycle after mitosis and just prior to the S phase,
such cells are said to be in the G0 state.
81. CELL DIVISION- MITOSIS
A. Interphase.
1. This phase includes gap 1, S and gap 2 periods of
cell cycle.
2. Since the replication of DNA occurs in the S
phase, the nucleus has twice the diploid amount of
DNA.
3. As the cell prepares to divide, the chromosome
condense and become visible.
82. CELL DIVISION- MITOSIS
B. Prophase.
1. Chromosomes become visible, Each
chromosome consists of a pair of long parallel
strands (sister chromatids), which are held together
at the centromere.
2. Crossing over between the sister chromatids
may occur at this stage.
3. The nuclear membrane and the nucleolus
disappears.
4. The centrioles divide and the daughter centrioles
migrate towards the opposite poles of the cell.
83. CELL DIVISION- MITOSIS
C. Metaphase
1. In this stage the chromosomes have
reached the maximum level of
contraction.
2. The spindle fibers form and
chromosomes move to the equatorial
plate of the cell.
84. CELL DIVISION- MITOSIS
D. Anaphase
1. In anaphase the centromere divides
and the paired chromatids separate.
2. The spindle fibre contracts, bringing
the daughter chromosomes to the two
poles of the cell.
85. CELL DIVISION- MITOSIS
E. Telophase
1. As the daughter chromosomes
reach the cell, the cytoplasm divides, and
the cell plate forms.
2. The chromosomes start to
unwind.
3. The nuclear membrane reforms.
