The document provides an overview of two class periods focused on teaching students about cell organelles and their functions. In the first class, students learned how different organelles in a cell work together to make and use proteins, including the roles of the nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. The second class finished explaining the process and had students come up with analogies comparing organelle functions to parts of a city. The homework assignment asked students to describe how at least five organelles work together to make and use proteins. The following lab class focused on identifying cells and organelle structures under a microscope.
DNA replication involves the separation of the double helix into two single strands, each serving as a template for reconstruction of the complementary strand. This process ensures each cell receives a complete copy of the DNA when the cell divides. Replication occurs at specific points called replication forks and is carried out by enzymes that unzip the strands and add nucleotides to reconstruct the complementary strands, with DNA polymerase being the principal enzyme responsible.
The document discusses the process of cell division through mitosis. It begins with how a single fertilized egg cell multiplies through repeated cell division to form a multicellular organism. It then explains the steps cells take to duplicate their DNA and divide, including DNA replication, chromosome formation, and the stages of mitosis - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. The end result is two daughter cells that are identical clones of the original parent cell.
The document provides instructions for a DNA replication activity involving student teams competing to make copies of DNA strands using the fewest nucleotides. The objective is for each team to end up with two DNA strands taped to the whiteboard. Rules prohibit talking during the activity and allow two minutes for strategy discussion beforehand. The activity aims to demonstrate the speed of DNA replication in human versus bacterial cells.
A biologist discusses using Second Life as a platform for visualizing and interacting with biological concepts like cell structures, protein interactions, and phylogenetic trees. Second Life allows for hands-on exploration and training across distances greater than 10 km, and can also host conferences. While Second Life does not actually make coffee, it provides an interactive virtual world for educational and professional purposes.
This document summarizes a lecture about DNA replication. It discusses why DNA needs to be replicated to pass genetic information from one generation of cells or organisms to the next. It introduces the three proposed models of DNA replication - conservative, dispersive, and semi-conservative - and describes the famous Meselson-Stahl experiment that used nitrogen isotopes to prove that DNA replicates in a semi-conservative manner, where each new double strand contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. The experiment demonstrated that DNA replication follows the semi-conservative model.
The document describes the process of cell division through mitosis. It begins with cells in interphase, where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA in S phase. The cell then enters prophase of mitosis, where the chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form. In metaphase, the chromosomes align along the center of the cell. In anaphase, the sister chromatids are separated and moved to opposite poles by spindle fibers.
The document discusses the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. It describes the cell membrane as selectively permeable, and the cytoplasm as containing organelles within a cytosol. Organelles have their own membranes and are found in the cytoplasm. Vesicles transport molecules within and outside the cell. The nucleus stores DNA and controls the cell, while the endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes help produce proteins.
This document provides an overview of a talk on genome curation and manual annotation using the Apollo genome annotation tool. The talk aims to help scientists understand the genome curation process from assembled genome to automated and manual annotation. It will introduce Apollo and teach how to identify homologs of known genes, corroborate and modify automated gene models using evidence in Apollo. The talk will also refresh attendees on key biological concepts like the definition of a gene, central dogma, transcription, and translation to better understand manual annotation.

Ch 4 part 1 Organelles of Eukaryotic CellsStephanie Beck
The document summarizes key components of the eukaryotic cell including the nucleus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi body. The nucleus contains DNA and controls cell functions. Ribosomes produce proteins by reading DNA codes. The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains ribosomes and produces proteins for export, sending them to the Golgi body in vesicles.
The first microscopes were invented in the 1600s, allowing Robert Hooke to observe cork cells in 1665 and name them "cells". It took almost 200 years after this to discover that plants and animals are made of cells. The basic unit of structure and function for all living things is the cell. Cells contain organelles that support transport of materials into and out of the cell. Multicellular organisms have specialized tissues, organs, and systems like the circulatory system that transport materials throughout the body.

The document summarizes key aspects of nucleic acids and organic molecules. Nucleic acids DNA and RNA are made up of nucleotides containing sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases. DNA forms a double helix structure and RNA contains uracil instead of thymine. The four major organic molecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and include monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Proteins are made of amino acids and have four levels of structure. Lipids include fats, oils, waxes, and phospholipids.
The document provides an overview of cell structure and function. It describes the key organelles found in eukaryotic cells like the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and cytoskeleton. It explains how these organelles allow cells to carry out essential processes like protein production, energy production, waste removal, cell signaling, and cell division. The roles of membranes, enzymes, and transport systems within organelles are also summarized.
The document discusses DNA replication in bacteriophages and eukaryotes. In bacteriophages, rolling circle replication produces long concatemers that are then cleaved by an endonuclease into individual linear genomes. Eukaryotic replication differs from prokaryotes in that eukaryotes have multiple chromosomes, linear chromosomes with telomeres, and nucleosomes. Telomeres are replicated by the reverse transcription of an RNA template by telomerase. Nucleosomes are replicated through the addition of new histone proteins to accommodate the packaging of two genomes.
The document discusses various cellular processes and organelle functions including homeostasis, permeability, energy production, cell transport, and protein synthesis. It also covers DNA structure and genetic inheritance through processes like replication, transcription, and translation. Key cellular and genetic concepts like mutations, variation, and interrelationships between organ systems are examined.
DNA replicates before cell division to ensure each new cell receives a full copy of the genome. DNA replication is semi-conservative, whereby each new DNA double helix contains one original strand and one newly synthesized complementary strand. It begins at the origin of replication, where the DNA unwinds and replication forks form. New strands grow from the forks in the 5' to 3' direction as DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides. The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short Okazaki fragments that are later joined together. Enzymes such as helicase, DNA polymerase, primase, and ligase facilitate replication with high fidelity despite DNA's immense length.
This document introduces the key elements needed for DNA replication in prokaryotes. It discusses the DNA template, building blocks (dNTPs), and proteins/enzymes involved. The main proteins/enzymes that are introduced are: DNA polymerase, which adds new nucleotides; helicase, which unwinds the DNA; single-stranded DNA binding proteins, which prevent rewinding; primase, which adds RNA primers for initiation; and ligase, which seals nicks in the newly synthesized strand. The goal is to explain the chemistry and functions of each component to introduce how prokaryotic DNA replication occurs.
Eukaryotic cell structures for Advanced BiologyStephanie Beck
The document provides information about the organelles and structures found within eukaryotic cells. It begins by describing the nucleus, which contains the cell's DNA and controls most cell functions. It then discusses other major cell structures involved in protein production and transport, including ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and cell membrane. It explains that these structures make up the endomembrane system, whose primary role is protein production and secretion. The document also mentions other organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts, lysosomes, and vacuoles, as well as cytoskeletal structures.
The document provides an agenda and objectives for a biology class on cells. It includes definitions and descriptions of key cellular structures and organelles such as the nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria and lysosomes. It defines prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and describes the functions of major organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
The document provides an overview of the key components and processes within cells, including the structures of DNA, RNA, and proteins. It explains that DNA contains the genetic code and is used to direct the synthesis of proteins through transcription and translation. The core cellular processes like DNA replication, transcription, and translation allow cells to grow and divide while maintaining genetic information.
This document provides information about cell structure and function. It begins with an introduction to cells including key discoveries in microscopy that allowed cells to be observed.

This document provides information about various prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structures and organelles. It defines each structure and organelle, stating its function and whether it is found in prokaryotes, plant cells, animal cells, or some combination. Key structures and organelles discussed include the cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, ribosomes, and vacuoles. The document emphasizes that prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles and have DNA located in the nucleoid, while eukaryotes have DNA in the nucleus. It also notes that plant cells contain chloroplasts, large central vacuoles, and
The document describes the key organelles found in cells and their functions. It discusses the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, Golgi complex, ribosomes, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, cell wall, chloroplasts, and central vacuole. Each organelle carries out specific activities important for cellular function, such as controlling passage of materials, storing genetic material, producing proteins and energy, packaging and transporting proteins, and providing structure. The document instructs students to learn and illustrate the organelles.
Comparative genome analysis requires high quality annotations of all genomic elements. Today’s sequencing projects face numerous challenges including lower coverage, more frequent assembly errors, and the lack of closely related species with well-annotated genomes. Precise elucidation of the many different biological features encoded in any genome requires careful examination and review. We need genome annotation editing tools to modify and refine the location and structure of the genome elements that predictive algorithms cannot yet resolve automatically. During the manual annotation process, curators identify elements that best represent the underlying biology and eliminate elements that reflect systemic errors of automated analyses.
Apollo is a web-based application that supports and enables collaborative genome curation in real time, analogous to Google Docs, allowing teams of curators to improve on existing automated gene models through an intuitive interface. Researchers from nearly one hundred institutions worldwide are currently using Apollo for distributed curation efforts in over sixty genome projects across the tree of life: from plants to arthropods, to fungi, to species of fish and other vertebrates including human, cattle (bovine), and dog.
The document provides information about different types of cells including bacterial, animal, and plant cells. It describes the main organelles found in each cell such as the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, cell wall, and plasma membrane. The reader is prompted to click on different parts of sample bacterial, animal, and plant cells to learn more about each organelle's structure and function.
