Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are essential for aerobic respiration. They have two membranes that create three distinct compartments - the outer membrane, inner membrane, and matrix. The inner membrane folds inward creating cristae where the electron transport chain is located. Mitochondria contain their own circular DNA and 37 genes. Their primary function is to produce energy through oxidative phosphorylation where nutrients are broken down and ATP is generated to power the cell.
The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope. Underlying the inner nuclear membrane is the nuclear lamina, a fibrous network composed of lamin proteins that provides structural support. Nuclear pores embedded in the nuclear envelope selectively regulate the transport of molecules in and out of the nucleus. The nucleolus within the nucleus is the site of ribosome biogenesis and contains genes for ribosomal RNA. Mutations in lamin genes can cause premature aging diseases like Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

Cytoskeleton - microtubules ,microfilaments and intermediate filamentsBIOTECH SIMPLIFIED
The cytoskeleton is made up of three main filament systems - microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. Microtubules are the thickest and made of tubulin, forming hollow tubes that help transport cellular cargo and separate chromosomes during cell division. Microfilaments are the thinnest and made of actin, enabling cell movement and shape changes. Intermediate filaments are in between the other two in diameter and made of various proteins, maintaining cell shape. Collectively, the cytoskeleton gives cells their structure, allows movement, and aids transport within cells.

The nucleus was the first organelle to be discovered.
The probably oldest preserved drawing dates back to the early microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723). He observed a "Lumen", the nucleus, in the red blood cells of salmon.
The nucleus was also described in 1831 by Scottish botanist Robert Brown.
Brown was studying orchids under microscope when he observed an opaque area, which he called the areola or nucleus, in the cells of the flower's outer layer. He did not suggest a potential function.

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy
Mutations in nuclear lamins associated with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is a neuromuscular degenerative condition with an associated dilated cardiomyopathy and cardiac conduction defect.
It can be inherited in either an X-linked or autosomal manner by mutations in the nuclear proteins emerin and lamin A/C, respectively.
Traditionally muscular dystrophies were associated with defects in sarcolemma-associated proteins and, therefore, a nuclear connection suggested the existence of novel signalling pathways associated with this group of diseases.
Subsequently, other mutations in the lamin A/C gene were attributed to a range of tissue-specific degenerative conditions, collectively known as the 'laminopathies’.

The nucleus is a spherical organelle found in eukaryotic cells that controls cell functions and contains DNA. It is surrounded by a double membrane and contains chromatin, nucleoplasm, and one or more nucleoli. The nucleus controls gene expression and protein synthesis, regulates cell growth and division, and maintains hereditary material. It allows for the exchange of molecules with the cytoplasm through nuclear pores in its membrane. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and plays a key role in controlling cell activities and functions.
The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that contains the cell's genetic material. It maintains the integrity of genes and controls cell activities through regulating gene expression. The nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane with nuclear pores that allow transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Chromatin fibers containing DNA and histones are organized into chromosomes inside the nucleus. The nucleolus is a dense structure where ribosomal RNA is synthesized.
The nucleus is a spherical organelle found in eukaryotic cells that was first discovered by Leeuwenhoek in the 17th century. It ranges from 2-5 micrometers in diameter and accounts for about 10% of the cell's volume. The nucleus contains genetic material in the form of chromosomes and is surrounded by a double membrane with nuclear pores that allow transport into and out of the nucleus. It serves as the control center of the cell by storing hereditary material and producing ribosomes and RNA.
The document discusses cellular organelles, focusing on the nucleus and mitochondria. It provides detailed information on the structure and functions of the nucleus, including that it is bounded by a double membrane and contains genetic material. It also describes the inner structures of the nucleus like the nucleolus and nuclear pores. Additionally, it discusses how the nucleus changes during cell division. For mitochondria, it notes that they are the powerhouses of the cell, generating energy through cellular respiration and having an inner membrane with folds called cristae to enhance this process.
The document discusses the cell nucleus and its components. Key points include:
- The nucleus contains DNA and directs cell functions and protein production through transcription and RNA processing.
- It is surrounded by a double membrane with nuclear pores that regulate transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
- The nucleus contains chromatin (DNA and proteins) and the nucleolus, which is the site of ribosomal RNA transcription and ribosome assembly.
- DNA replication and cell division are regulated by the nucleus.
DNA
its Discovery
Who Discovered DNA?
Credit for who first identified DNA is often mistakenly given to James Watson and Francis Crick, who just furthered Miescher’s discovery with their own groundbreaking research nearly 100 years later. Watson and Crick contributed largely to our understanding of DNA in terms of genetic inheritance, but much like Miescher, long before their work, others also made great advancements in and contributions to the field.
In 1866, before many significant discoveries and findings, Gregor Mendel was the first to suggest that characteristics are passed down from generation to generation. Mendel coined the terms as recessive and dominant.
In 1869, Friedrich Miescher identified the “nuclein” by isolating a molecule from a cell nucleus that would later become known as DNA.
In 1881, Nobel Prize winner and German biochemist Albrecht Kossel, who is credited with naming DNA, identified nuclein as a nucleic acid. He also isolated those five nitrogen bases that are now considered to be the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T) and uracil (U) in case of RNA).
In 1882, Walther Fleming devoted research and time to cytology, which is the study of chromosomes. He discovered mitosis in 1882 when he was the first biologist to execute a wholly systematic study of the division of chromosomes. His observations that chromosomes double is significant to the later discovered theory of inheritance.
In Early 1900s, Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton were independently working on what’s now known as the Boveri-Sutton chromosome theory, or the chromosomal theory of inheritance. Their findings are fundamental in our understanding of how chromosomes carry genetic material and pass it down from one generation to the next.
In 1902, Mendel’s theories were finally associated with a human disease by Sir Archibald Edward Garrod, who published the first findings from a study on recessive inheritance in human beings in 1902. Garrod opened the door for our understanding of genetic disorders resulting from errors in chemical pathways in the body.
In 1944, Oswald Avery first outlined DNA as the transforming principle, which essentially means that DNA transform cell properties.
The document summarizes key information about the cell nucleus:
1. The nucleus was the first organelle discovered and contains most of the cell's genetic material. It maintains the integrity of genes and controls the cell.
2. The nuclear envelope separates the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm. Nuclear pores allow transport between the two compartments.
3. Chromatin within the nucleus organizes the DNA into chromosomes. The nucleolus synthesizes rRNA to assemble ribosomes.
The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that houses the cell's DNA. It contains several sub-compartments including the nucleolus, which is the site of ribosome biogenesis. The nuclear envelope, composed of two lipid bilayers separated by perinuclear space, encloses the nucleus and regulates transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm through nuclear pore complexes. Within the nucleus, DNA is organized into either loosely packed euchromatin or tightly packed heterochromatin. The nucleolus forms around clusters of rRNA genes and is the site of rRNA transcription and ribosome subunit assembly.

The document discusses the key components and structures of the cell. It begins by defining the cell as the basic unit of life and describes the early cell theory developed in the 1830s-1860s. It then outlines the modern cell theory, which includes four additional statements about DNA, chemical composition, metabolic functions, and organelle activities. The rest of the document provides details on the characteristics, sizes, and types of cells, as well as descriptions of the main organelles and structures found within plant and animal cells, including their functions.
This document provides information about molecular biology concepts including:
- The structure and function of eukaryotic cells including organelles like the nucleus, nucleolus, and mitochondria.
- The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- DNA structure, replication, and the role of DNA and RNA in cells.
- Other genetic elements like viruses, viroids and prions.
The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells that stores the cell's DNA and coordinates its activities. It contains chromatin, which packages DNA and proteins, the nucleolus for ribosome assembly, and a nuclear envelope consisting of two membranes separated by a perinuclear space. Chromatin exists in two forms - euchromatin which is loosely packed for gene expression, and heterochromatin which is tightly packed. The nucleus controls heredity and protein synthesis.
The document is a presentation on the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum. It begins with background on the discovery of the nucleus by Leeuwenhoek and others. It then defines the nucleus as the control center of the cell that contains most of the cell's genetic material. It describes the main characteristics, size, shape, and ultrastructure of the nucleus, including the nuclear envelope, pores, lamina, chromosomes, nucleolus, and other components. It also summarizes the functions of the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum, who discovered the ER, its definition, structure including cisternae, tubules and vesicles, types (rough and smooth ER), and functions in protein transport and synthesis.
The nucleus contains the DNA blueprint for the cell and machinery to replicate DNA and synthesize RNA. It regulates transport between the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments, and contains heterochromatin and euchromatin. The nuclear envelope is a double membrane with nuclear pores that regulate transport. It surrounds the nucleolus, which synthesizes ribosomal components, and the chromatin, which condenses during cell division.

Nucleus – BIO109 Biology I Introduction to Biology
The boundary of the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, is a double membrane that contains small openings called nuclear pores. These pores are gateways that allow molecules to move into and out of the nucleus, enabling it to communicate with the rest of the cell.
The nucleus has three main parts:
Nuclear membrane: A protective barrier of the nucleus
Nucleoplasm: The cytoplasm of the nucleus, which is a semifluid matrix that contains chromatin, the less condensed form of DNA that organizes into chromosomes during mitosis or cell division
Nucleolus: A spherical structure that produces and assembles the cell's ribosomes
The nucleus controls and regulates the activities of the cell, such as growth and metabolism.

Cells are the fundamental units of life, and all organisms are made up of one or more cells. The document discusses two important cellular components - the nucleus and ribosomes. The nucleus houses most of the cell's DNA and directs protein synthesis. It is enclosed by a double membrane and contains chromosomes. The ribosomes use information from DNA to synthesize proteins according to instructions provided by messenger RNA. They assemble in the nucleolus and exit into the cytoplasm to perform protein synthesis.
