Cell and Molecular Biology is the study of cells, their internal structures, and their functions. The document discusses the history of cell discovery using microscopes by Robert Hooke, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, and others. It describes the three main principles of the modern cell theory: all living things are made of cells, the cell is the basic unit of structure and function, and new cells are produced from existing cells. The key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are summarized.

The Cell Theory of Schleiden and Schwann was very important in establishing that...
all living things are always composed of multiple cells, some of which are living and most of
which are non-living.
cells are part of a continuous membrane system, and are not individual living entities.
all living things are composed of at least one living cell.
DNA is a double helix in shape and is directly related to heredity and genetic traits.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Introduction to cell biology
1. Cell and Molecular BiologyCellandMolecularBiology
CellandMolecularBiology
2. CELLAND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
Introduction To Cell
By: Prof. Ehtasham Ali
Centre for Professional Studies
University of Central Punjab, Sialkot
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
3. Animals Made up of cells
Plants Made up of cells
Algae Made up of cells
Fungi Made up of cells
Bacteria A solitary cell
Life: made up of cell or cells
4. Because all living
things are made of
one or more cells, the
origin of life
corresponds to the
origin of cells.
Cell?
5. Cell
is a Small, membrane enclosed unit filled with a concentrated
aqueous solution of chemicals and endowed with the
extraordinary ability to create copies of itself by growing and
then dividing in two.
Cells are the fundamental units of life.
6. Cell biology
The summative study of cellâs
structure, function, and behavior is
called cell biology
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
9. Cells cannot be seen with naked eye
Microscope
an instrument that provides
a magnified image of a tiny
object
Microscopy
The use of microscope is
known as microscopy
10. Robert Hooke:
(an English Microscopist)
ââDiscover the cellââ
1665 Hookeâs statement was:
âI took a good clear piece of
cork, and with a Pen-knife
sharpenâd as keen as a Razor,
I cut a piece of it off, and then
examining it with a
Microscope, me thought I
could perceive it to appear a
little porous . . . much like a
Honeycomb. Hooke called
the pores cellsâ
One of Robert Hookeâs more ornate
compound (doubleâlens) microscopes.
(Inset) Hooke â s drawing of a thin slice of
cork, showing the honeycombâlike network
of âcells.â
11. Anton van Leeuwenhoek:
Constructed simple microscopes of
remarkable quality
Leeuwenhoek was the first to:
ī examine a drop of pond water
under the microscope and,
observe the teeming
microscopic living creatures
âanimalculesâ
ī describe various forms of
bacteria, which he obtained
from water in which pepper had
been soaked and from scrapings
of his teeth
Singleâlens microscope used by Antonie
van Leeuwenhoek to observe bacteria and
other microorganisms. The biconvex lens,
which was capable of magnifying an
object approximately 270 times and
providing a resolution of approximately
1.35 Îŧm, was held between two metal
plates.
12. Matthias Schleiden (1838)
a German botanist, concluded
that, despite differences in the
structure of various tissues, plants
were made of cells and that the
plant embryo arose from a
single cell
Theodor Schwann (1839)
a German zoologist published a
comprehensive report on the
cellular basis of animal life.
Schwann concluded that the
cells of plants and animals are
similar structures
Cell Theory
īļAll organisms are composed of one or more cells.
īļThe cell is the structural unit of life.
13. Schleiden and Schwannâs ideas on the origin of cells
proved to be less insightful
Why?
ââBoth agreed that cells could arise from non-cellular
materials, that was impossibleââ
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
14. Rudolf Virchow
a German pathologist
In 1855 said
Cells can arise only by division
from a preexisting cell
Modern form of cell theory
īļAll organisms are composed of one or more cells.
īļThe cell is the structural and functional unit of life.
īļCells can arise only by division from a preexisting cell
15. BASIC PROPERTIES OF CELLS
īļ Life is the most basic property of cells, and cells are the
smallest units to exhibit this property.
īļ Whole cells can be removed from a plant or animal and
cultured in a laboratory where they will grow and reproduce
for extended periods of time.
īļ If mistreated, they may die. Death can also be considered one
of the most basic properties of life, because only a living entity
faces this prospect.
īļ Cells within the body that are no longer needed or pose a risk
of becoming cancerous generally die âby their own handââ
16. Properties of cell
1) Cells are highly complex and organized
2) Cells possess a genetic program and the means to use it
3) Cells acquire and utilize energy
4) Cells carry out a variety of chemical reactions
5) Cells engage in mechanical activities
6) Cells are able to respond to stimuli
7) Cells evolve
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
17. 1) Cells Are Highly Complex and Organized:
Complexity can be discussed in terms of
order and consistency
The more complex a structure,
the greater the number of parts that must be in their proper place,
the less tolerance of errors in the nature and interactions of the
parts,
the more regulation or control that must be exerted to maintain the
system.
Cellular activities can be remarkably precise
For example, DNA duplication, occurs with an error rate of less
than one mistake every ten million nucleotides incorporated
and most of these are quickly corrected by an elaborate repair
mechanism that recognizes the defect.
18. Complexity at different levels
organization of atoms into small-sized molecules;
organization of these molecules into giant polymers;
organization of different polymeric molecules into complexes;
complexes organized into subcellular organelles;
organelles organized into cells;
There is a great deal of consistency at every level
īļ when observed under electron microscope each cell and its
organelles have a particular shape and location, from one
individual of a species to another.
īļ Similarly, each type of organelle has a consistent composition of
macromolecules, which are arranged in a predictable pattern.
19.
20. 2. Cells Possess a Genetic Program and the Means to Use It
īļ Organisms are built according to the DNA information
īļ DNA packaged into chromosome is present inside the nucleus of
cell, hundreds of times smaller than the dot on this i.
īļ Genes are more than storage lockers for information. They
constitute the recipes for
constructing cellular structures,
the directions for running cellular activities,
and the program for making more of themselves.
īļ The molecular structure of genes allows for changes in genetic
information (mutations) that lead to variation among individuals,
which forms the basis of biological evolution.
21. 3. Cells Are Capable of Producing More of Themselves
īļ New cells are generated by the division or reproduction of individual
cells.
īļ Cells reproduce by division, a process in which the contents of a
âmotherâ cell are distributed into two âdaughterâ cells.
īļ Prior to division, the genetic material is faithfully duplicated, and
each daughter cell receives a complete and equal share of genetic
information.
īļ In most cases, the two daughter cells have approximately equal
volume. In some cases, however, as occurs when a human oocyte
undergoes division, one of the cells can retain nearly all of the
cytoplasm, even though it receives only half of the genetic material
22. Cell reproduction:
This mammalian oocyte has
recently undergone a highly
unequal cell division in
which most of the
cytoplasm has been retained
within the large oocyte,
which has the potential to be
fertilized and develop into
an embryo. The other cell is
a nonfunctional remnant
that consists almost totally
of nuclear material
(indicated by the
blueâstaining chromosomes,
arrow).
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
23. 4. Cells Acquire and Utilize Energy
Basic source of energy on earth?
Sunâs energy is packaged by plants at
chloroplast into carbohydrates
Energy is available to animals in the form
of glucose
Energy is utilize by animals in the form of
ATP
24. Acquiring energy. A living cell of the filamentous alga
Spirogyra. The ribbon-like chloroplast, which is seen to
zigzag through the cell, is the site where energy from
sunlight is captured and converted to chemical energy
during photosynthesis.
25. 5. Cells Carry Out a Variety of Chemical Reactions:
īļ Cells function like miniaturized chemical plants.
īļ Even the simplest bacterial cell is capable of hundreds of
different chemical transformations, none of which occurs at
any significant rate in the inanimate world.
īļ Virtually all chemical changes that take place in cells require
enzymes; molecules that greatly increase the rate at which a
chemical reaction occurs.
īļ The sum total of the chemical reactions in a cell represents that
cellâs metabolism.
26. 6. Cells Engage in Mechanical Activities
īļ Cells are sites of bustling activity.
īļ Materials are transported from place to place, structures are
assembled and then rapidly disassembled, and, in many cases, the
entire cell moves itself from one site to another.
īļ These types of activities are based on dynamic, mechanical
changes within cells, many of which are initiated by changes in the
shape of âmotorâ proteins.
īļ Motor proteins are just one of many types of molecular âmachinesâ
employed by cells to carry out mechanical activities.
27. 7. Cells Are Able to Respond to Stimuli
īļ Some cells respond to stimuli in obvious ways;
a singleâcelled protist, for example, moves away from an
object in its path or moves toward a source of nutrients.
īļ Cells within a multicellular plant or animal respond to stimuli less
obviously.
īļ Most cells are covered with receptors that interact with substances
in the environment in highly specific ways. Cells possess receptors
to hormones,
growth factors,
extracellular materials,
substances on the surfaces of other cells.
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
28. īļ A cellâs receptors provide pathways through which external
stimuli can evoke specific responses in target cells.
How cells respond to stimuli?
īļ Cells may respond to specific stimuli by altering their
metabolic activities, moving from one place to another, or even
committing suicide.
29. 8. Cells Are Capable of SelfâRegulation
īļ cellâs robustness?
īļ Cells are robust, that is, hearty or durable, because they are protected
from dangerous fluctuations in composition and behavior.
īļ In addition to requiring energy, maintaining a complex, ordered state
requires constant regulation. The importance of a cellâs regulatory
mechanisms becomes most evident when they break down. For
example,
failure of a cell to correct a mistake when it duplicates its DNA
may result in a debilitating mutation
īļ Hans Driesch in 1891 found that he could completely separate the
first two or four cells of a sea urchin embryo and each of the isolated
cells would proceed to develop into a normal embryo
30. Self-regulation.
The left panel depicts
the normal development
of a sea urchin in which
a fertilized egg gives
rise to a single embryo.
The right panel depicts
an experiment in which
the cells of an early
embryo are separated
from one another after
the first division, and
each cell is allowed to
develop in isolation.
31. 9. Cells Evolve
īļ How did cells arise?
īļ It is presumed that cells evolved from some type of precellular life
form, which in turn evolved from nonliving organic materials that
were present in the primordial seas.
īļ Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, share many features,
including a common genetic code, a plasma membrane, and
ribosomes.
īļ According to one of the tenets of modern biology, all living
organisms have evolved from a single, common ancestral cell that
lived more than three billion years ago. Because it gave rise to all the
living organisms that we know of, this ancient cell is often referred
to as the last universal common ancestor (or LUCA ).
36. A Comparison of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Features held in common by the two types of cells:
īļ Plasma membrane of similar construction
īļ Genetic information encoded in DNA using identical genetic
code
īļ Similar mechanisms for transcription and translation of
genetic information, including similar ribosomes
īļ Similar apparatus for conservation of chemical energy as ATP
(located in the plasma membrane of prokaryotes and the
mitochondrial membrane of eukaryotes)
37. īļ Shared metabolic pathways (e.g., glycolysis and TCA cycle)
īļ Similar mechanism of photosynthesis (between cyanobacteria
and green plants)
īļ Similar mechanism for synthesizing and inserting membrane
proteins
īļ Proteasomes (protein digesting structures) of similar
construction (between archaebacteria and eukaryotes)
īļ Cytoskeletal filaments built of proteins similar to actin and
tubulin
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
38. Features of eukaryotic cells not found in
prokaryotes:
īļ Division of cells into nucleus and cytoplasm, separated by a
nuclear envelope containing complex pore structures
īļ Complex chromosomes composed of DNA and associated
proteins that are capable of compacting into mitotic structures
īļ Complex membranous cytoplasmic organelles (includes
endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, lysosomes,
endosomes, peroxisomes, and glyoxisomes)
īļ Specialized cytoplasmic organelles for aerobic respiration
(mitochondria) and photosynthesis (chloroplasts)
39. īļ Complex cytoskeletal system (including actin filaments,
intermediate filaments, and microtubules) and associated
motor proteins
īļ Complex flagella and cilia
īļ Ability to ingest particulate material by enclosure within
plasma membrane vesicles i.e. phagocytosis
īļ Celluloseâcontaining cell walls (in plants)
īļ Cell division using a microtubuleâcontaining mitotic spindle
that separates chromosomes
40. īļ Presence of two copies of genes per cell (diploidy), one from
each parent
īļ Presence of three different RNA synthesizing enzymes
(RNA polymerases)
īļ Sexual reproduction requiring meiosis and fertilization
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
41. Characteristics That Distinguish Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Cells
īļ There is no intermediate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
Prokaryotic cells:
structurally simpler and include bacteria
Eukaryotic cells:
structurally more complex and include
protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
īļ The shared properties reflect the fact that eukaryotic cells almost
certainly evolved from prokaryotic ancestors.
īļ Because of their common ancestry, both types of cells share
an identical genetic language,
a common set of metabolic pathways,
and many common structural features
42. For example,
īļ Both types of cells are bounded by plasma membranes of
similar construction that serve as a selectively permeable
barrier between the living and nonliving worlds.
īļ Both types of cells may be surrounded by a rigid, nonliving
cell wall that protects the delicate life form within.
43. Location of genetic material
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
Located in nucleoid
Nucleoid:
a poorly demarcated region
of the cell that lacks a
boundary membrane to
separate it from the
surrounding cytoplasm.
Prokaryotes do not have
nucleus so called pro
(before) karyotes (karyon;
nucleus)
Located in nucleus
Nucleus:
a region bounded by a
complex membranous
structure called the nuclear
envelope
Eukaryotes have prominant
nucleus so called eu (true)
karyotes (karyon; nucleus)
44. Size of genetic material
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
Prokaryotic cells contain
relatively small amounts
of DNA.
The DNA content of
bacteria ranges from
about 600,000 base pairs
to nearly 8 million base
pairs and,
encodes between about
500 and several thousand
proteins.
Although a âsimpleâ
bakerâs yeast cell has only
slightly more DNA than
the most complex
prokaryotes (12 million
base pairs encoding
about 6200 proteins)
most eukaryotic cells
contain considerably more
genetic information.
45. Chromosomal content
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
All prokaryotes that have
been studied contain a
single, circular
chromosome.
Their chromosome contain
DNA and Proteins
Eukaryotic cells possess a
number of separate
chromosomes, each
containing a single linear
molecule of DNA.
More importantly, the
chromosomal DNA of
eukaryotes, unlike that of
prokaryotes, is tightly
associated with proteins to
form a complex
nucleoprotein material
known as chromatin
Both
prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells
have
DNAâcontaining
chromosomes
46. Cytoplasm
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
Devoid of
membranous
structures.
Just Cyanobacteria
have the complex
photosynthetic
membranes
Filled with a great
diversity of structures.
Membraneâbound
organelles like
mitochondria, ER, Golgi
apparatus are present
inside cytoplasm.
Taken as a group, the
membranes of the
eukaryotic cell serve to
divide the cytoplasm into
compartments within
which specialized
activities can take place.
Cytosol?
47. Cytoplasmic membranes:
Eukaryotes:
The cytoplasmic membranes of eukaryotic cells form a
system of interconnecting channels and vesicles that function
in the transport of substances from one part of a cell to
another, as well as between the inside of the cell and its
environment.
Prokaryotes:
Because of their small size, directed intracytoplasmic
communication is less important in prokaryotic cells, where
the necessary movement of materials can be accomplished by
simple diffusion.
48. Cytoskeleton: membrane less structures in cytoplasm
Eukaryotic cells:
Contain numerous structures lacking a surrounding membrane.
It Includes: elongated tubules and filaments of the cytoskeleton,
which participate in
cell contractility,
movement, and
support.
Prokaryotic cells:
It was thought for many years that prokaryotic cells lacked any trace
of a cytoskeleton, but primitive cytoskeletal filaments have been
found in bacteria.
It is still fair to say that the prokaryotic cytoskeleton is much simpler,
both structurally and functionally, than that of eukaryotes.
ehtashamali000@gmail.com
49. Ribosomes
Prokaryote ribosomes
are smaller in size
(70S) than eukaryotes
and are freely
dispersed in
cytoplasm
Eukaryotic ribosomes
are larger in size (80S)
and are attached to
RER and also present
freely in cytoplasm
Synthesize
proteins
50. Cell Division
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
In prokaryote In
prokaryotes, there is no
mitotic spindle to separate
the genome copies after
replication. It was once
thought that the two copies
are separated by attaching
the DNA to the cell surface
allowing the growth of the
cell membrane to pull them
apart.
Eukaryotic cells divide by a
complex process of mitosis
in which duplicated
chromosomes condense into
compact structures that are
segregated by an elaborate
microtubuleâcontaining
apparatus.
This apparatus, which is
called a mitotic spindle,
allows each daughter cell to
receive an equivalent array
of genetic material.
51. Reproduction
Prokaryotes Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes are non-sexual
They do not posses the
process of meiosis,
gamete formation and
true fertilzation.
They posses the process
of conjugation in which
DNA is transfer from one
cell to another.
Prokaryotes are highly
efficient in picking and
incorporating the foreign
DNA and involves in
microbial evolution.
Eukaryotes have the
proper mechanism of
sexual reproduction.
They posses the
processes of meiosis,
gamete formation and
true fertilization.
The process of meiosis
is responsible for the
variations in living
organisms.
52. Locomotary mechanism:
Prokaryotes:
īļ Posses a relatively simple locomotary mechanism.
īļ The movement of a prokaryotic cell may be accomplished by a thin
protein filament, called a flagellum , which protrudes from the cell
