Cell
The cell is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. A
cell is the smallest working unit of all living organisms on our planet earth, which is capable of
performing life functioning. They are often called the building blocks of our life. The study of
cells is called cell biology.
The term cell was first observed and identified by an English physicist Robert Hook in the year
1665. There were many theories developed for cell. Later in the year 1839 a two German
scientists Schwann and Schleiden provided few basic principles of cell.
Cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane which contains many biomolecules such
as proteins and nucleic acids. The organisms can be classified as unicellular (consists single cell:
bacteria-prokaryotes) or multicellular (including plants and animals-Eukaryotes). The number of
cells in plants and animals varies from species to species. Therefore human contains more than
10 trillion cells.
There are many cells in an individual, which performs several functions throughout the life. The
size and the shape of the cell range from millimeter to microns, which are generally based on the
type of function that it performs. A cell generally varies in their shapes. A few cells are in
spherical, rod, flat, concave, curved, rectangular and oval shaped. Most of the plant and animal
cells are visible only under microscope, with dimensions between 1 and 100 micrometers.
The structure and function of cells
The basic structure of all cells, whether prokaryotes and eukaryotes are the same. All cells have
an outer layer called plasma membrane. The plasma membrane holds the cell together and allows
the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
The interior of both kinds of cells is known as cytoplasm. Within the cytoplasm eukaryotes are
embedded with cellular organelles but in prokaryotes contain no organelles. Finally, both types
of cells contain small structures called ribosomes. These are the sites within the cells where
proteins are produced.
Cell wall: It helps protecting the plasma membrane and plays an important role in protecting the
cells.
Cell membrane: A thin, flexible layer of plant or animal tissue that covers, lines, separates or
holds together, or connects parts of an organism
Cytoplasm: It is a membrane which protects the cell by keeping cells organelles separates from
each other. This helps to keep the cell in stable. Cytoplasm is the major site that many
biochemical reactions take place.
Nucleus: They are membrane bound organelles which are found in many eukaryotes. It is the
very important organelle of a cell as it controls the complete activity of a cell and also plays a
vital role in reproduction
Nuclear membrane: These bilayer membranes which protects the nucleus by surrounding around
it and acts as a barrier between the barrier nucleus and other organelles in the cell
Nucleolus: It is found inside the nucleus.

Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Â
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other  chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released. Â
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules -Â a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.Â
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to âburnâ the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP.  Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.Â

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 â 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : Â cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Â
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The systemâs unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Ioâs surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Ioâs trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Ioâs surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

2. Introduction
Plant physiology is a study of Vital phenomena in
plant.
Crop physiology is the study of the plant
processes responsible for the growth,
development, and production of economic
yield by crop plants.
Julius Sachs is considered the 'father of plant
physiology'
3. Processes that occur in living plants are
⊠Photosynthesis
⊠Respiration
⊠Ion absorption
⊠Translocation
⊠Transpiration
⊠Stomatal opening and closing
⊠Assimilation
⊠Flowering
⊠Seed formation
⊠Seed germination
4. A brief history of Crop Physiology:
W.L. Balls (1915): Crop physiology, with the aim of understanding
the dynamics of yield development in crops, really began with the
work of W.L. Balls.
1947: The concept of LAI (Leaf area index) was developed by D.J.
Watson. This index has provided a more meaningful way of
analyzing growth in crops, and stimulated renewed interest in
crop physiology.
1950âs: Studies on photosynthetic rate of the leaf and the loss of
photosynthates by respiration was studied by the development of
âInfra Red Gas Analysis (IRGA)âmethod. This method has
facilitated the estimation of short term rates of Photosynthesis
and respiration by crops in the field.
5. 1953: Monsi and Saeki explained about the manner of
light interception by the crop canopy with their concept of
light interception coefficient.
1963: Hesketh and Moss showed that photosynthesis by
leaves of Maize, Sugarcane and related tropical grasses
could reach much higher rates, with less marked light
saturation, than leaves of other plants. (This was the
starting point for research to find other photosynthetic
CO2 fixation path ways like C4, and CAM Mechanisms).
6. Importance of crop physiology in agriculture:
Seed Physiology
Seed is the most important input in agriculture. Germination of seed
and proper establishment of seedling depends upon various internal
and external factors. Knowledge of Seed physiology helps in
understanding of different physiological and morphological changes
that occur during germination.
By understanding the causes and effects of dormancy, Crop
physiologists have come up with different methods of breaking the
seed dormancy.
Optimum seedling growth and plant population
By knowing the process of radicle and plumule emergence and their
function we can achieve best plant health, which is the outcome of
best plant physiology.
7. Growth measurement of crops
The first prerequisite for higher yields in crops is high total dry matter production
per unit area. High dry matter production is a function of optimum leaf area
(Optimum leaf area Index) and Net Assimilation rate. (CGR = LAI X NAR).
Mode of action of different weedicides
The use of herbicides to kill unwanted plants is widespread in modern agriculture.
Majority of Herbicides -about half of the commercially important compoundsâ
act by interrupting photosynthetic electron flow (Ex. Paraquat, diuron) or
electron flow of respiration.
Nutriophysiology
Nutriophysiology is yet another important area to under stand crop physiology.
For the healthy growth of a crop around 17 essential elements are required.
Knowledge of nutriophysiology has helped in identification of essential nutrients,
ion uptake mechanisms, their deficiency symptoms and corrective measures.
8. Photoperiodism
Response of plant to the relative length of day and night is called as
photoperiodism. This concept was used to choose photo insensitive varieties.
The semi dwarf Rice varieties that have revolutionized Indian agriculture, are
lodging resistant, fertilizer responsive, high yielding and photo insensitive.
Plant growth regulators
Plants can regulate their growth through internal growth mechanisms involving
the action of extremely low concentrations of chemical substances called Plant
growth substances, phytohormones or Plant growth regulators. The regulation
of flowering, seed formation and fruit setting has been controlled through the
application of different hormones at the appropriate time of plant height and
age.
9. Plant cell: an Overview
The cell (Latin word, meaning "small room") is
the basic structural,
functional, and
biological
unit of all known living organisms
The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665
10.
11. Cell theory
Cell theory, first developed in 1839 by Matthias
Jakob Schleiden and Theodor Schwann, states that
1) All organisms are made up of one or more cells and
the products of those cells.
2) All cells carry out life activities (require energy, grow,
have a limited size).
3) New cells arise only from other living cells by the
process of cell division.
12. Description of the plant cell
Cell wall :
Cell wall is a non-living component of the cell and is secreted and maintained
by the living portion of the cell, called protoplasm.
A typical cell wall is composed of three different regions
1. Middle Lamella
2. Primary cell wall (1-3 ”m thick and elastic)
3. Secondary cell wall (5-10 ”m thick and rigid)
13. Protoplasm :
It is the living, colloidal and semi
fluid substance. Cell devoid of cell
wall is called protoplast.
Protoplast is enclosed by a
membrane called as cell
membrane or plasma membrane.
Cell membrane :
All cells are enclosed by a thin,
membrane called plasma
membrane or plasmalemma. The
plasma membrane and sub
cellular membrane are collectively
called biological membrane. Cell
membrane consists of proteins,
lipids and other substances.
14. Cell nucleus :
It is oval or spherical in shape and is
generally larger in active cells than in
resting cells. A nucleus consists of
Four main parts viz. nuclear
envelope, nucleoplasm, nucleolus
and chromatin. The nucleus is
separated from the cytoplasm by a
double membrane called the nuclear
envelope. The space between the
outer and inner membrane is known
as nuclear pores which provide direct
connection between nucleus and
cytoplasm.
15. Chloroplast :
Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and other eukaryotic organisms
that perform photosynthesis because of the presence of green pigment, chlorphyll.
The chloroplast is surrounded by double layered membrane. The space between
these two layers is called intermembrane space. Stroma is the aqueous fluid found
inside the chloroplast. The stroma contains the machinery required for carbon
fixation, circular DNA, 70 S ribosomes (thatâs why called as semiautonomous
organelle) etc. within the stroma the stacks of thylakoids are arranged as stacks
called grana.
16. Mitochondria :
Mitochondria are rod shaped cytoplasmic organelles, which are main sites of
cellular respiration. Hence, they are referred to as power house of the cell. Each
mitochondrion is enclosed by two concentric unit membranes comprising of an
outer membrane and an inner membrane. The space between the two
membranes is called perimitochondrial space. The inner membrane has a series
of infoldings known as cristae. The inner space enclosed by cristae is filled by a
relatively dense material known as matrix.
17. Ribosomes :
Chemically, ribosomes are ribonucloprotein complexes. This is a membrane
less Ribosomes are of two types. Ribosomes of prokaryotes have sedimentation
coefficient of 70 S and consist of two sub units of unequal sizes 50S and 30 S
subunits. Ribosomes of eukaryotes have 80 S sedimentation coefficient (40S &
60 S).
Endoplasmic reticulum :
Endoplasmic reticulum arises from the outer membrane of the nucleus
forming an intermediate meshed network. It is of two types. The granular or
rough endoplasmic reticulum in which the outer surface of endoplasmic
reticulum is studded with ribosome and agranular or smooth endoplasmic
reticulum in which the ribosomes are not attached.
18.
19. Golgi apparatus:
A Golgi apparatus is composed of flat sacs known as cisternae. The sacs are
stacked in a bent, semicircular shape. Each stacked grouping has a membrane
that separates its insides from the cell's cytoplasm. A Golgi body, also known
as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that helps process and package
proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be
exported from the cell.
20. Vacuole :
It is a membrane bound organelle found in plant cell and
occupies most of the area in the plant cell. A vacuole is
surrounded by a single layer membrane called tonoplast.
It is an enclosed compartment filled with water containing
inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes in
solution.
Peroxisomes :
Peroxisomes are found in leaves of higher plants. It is a
small organelle present in the cytoplasm of many cells,
which contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually
some oxidases.
Glyoxysomes :
A glyoxysome is a specialized form of peroxisome (a type of microbody) found in
some plant cells, notably the cells of germinating seeds. Glyoxysomes are
temporary as they occur during transient periods in the life cycle of a plant such as
in certain beans and nuts which store fats in their seeds as energy reserves.
21. Cytoskeleton :
The cytoskeleton is scaffolding contained within the cytoplasm and is
made up of protein. The cytoskeleton is present in all cells. The
cytoskeleton provides the cell with structure and shape.
There are three main kinds of cytoskeleton filaments:
1. Microfilament: - They are composed of actin subunits.
2. Intermediary filaments: - They function in the maintenance of cell
shape by bearing tension. They also participate in the cell-cell and cell
matrix junctions.
3. Microtubules: - They are like hollow cylinders mostly comprising of
13 protofilaments which in turn are alpha and beta tubulin. They are
commonly organized by the centrosome.
