This document provides an overview of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It discusses the key differences between their cells, including that prokaryotes lack a nucleus and organelles while eukaryotes have membrane-bound nuclei and organelles. It also describes the various shapes found in prokaryotes such as cocci, bacilli, spirals and spirochetes. Additionally, it outlines the external structures found in prokaryotic cells including the glycocalyx, flagella, axial filaments, fimbriae and pili.
Fungi are a kingdom of usually multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophs (cannot make their own food) and have important roles in nutrient cycling in an ecosystem. Fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually, and they also have symbiotic associations with plants and bacteria.
Viruses are small, acellular particles that can replicate only in a host cell. They are obligatory intracellular parasites.They
consist of a nucleic acid genome enclosed in a protective protein shell or capsidBacteriophage is the virus that infect bacteria.Bacteriophages were discovered by Frederick Twort(1915)and Felix d'Herelle(1917).

A fimbria (Latin for 'fringe', plural fimbriae), also referred to as an "attachment pilus" by some scientists, is an appendage that can be found on many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, that is thinner and shorter than a flagellum. This appendage ranges from 3–10 nanometers in diameter and can be up to several micrometers long. Fimbriae are used by bacteria to adhere to one another and to adhere to animal cells and some inanimate objects. A bacterium can have as many as 1,000 fimbriae. Fimbriae are only visible with the use of an electron microscope. They may be straight or flexible.
A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; plural: pili) is a hair-like appendage found on the surface of many bacteria and archaea.[1] The terms pilus and fimbria (Latin for 'fringe'; plural: fimbriae) can be used interchangeably, although some researchers reserve the term pilus for the appendage required for bacterial conjugation. All pili in the latter sense are primarily composed of pilin proteins, which are oligomeric.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

6. Comparing Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells: An Overview
Prokaryote Eukaryote
1. Their DNA is found in the cell 's
nucleus, which is separated from the
cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane,
and the DNA is found in multiple
chromosomes.
1. Their DNA is not enclosed within a
membrane and is usually a singular
circularly arranged chromosome.
(Some bacteria, such as Vibrio ch.,

10. Comparing Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells: An Overview
Prokaryote Eukaryote
5. They usually divide by binary
fission. During this process, the
DNA is copied, and the cell splits
into two cells. Binary fission
involves fewer structures and
processes than eukaryotic cell
division .
5. Cell division usually involves
mitosis, in which chromosomes
replicate and an identical set is
distributed into each of two
nuclei. This process is guided by
the mitotic spindle, a football -
shaped assembly of microtubules.
11. The Size, Shape, and Arrangement
of Bacterial Cells
- Most bacteria range from 0.2 to 1.0 μm in diameter
From 2 to 8 μm in length.
- Most bacteria are monomorphic; they maintain a single shape.
- Some bacteria are genetically pleomorphic., such as Rhizobium sp.
and Corynebacterium sp. which means they can have many shapes.
13. Coccus (spherical); Arrangements
- Cocci are usually round but can be oval.
- When cocci divide to reproduce, the cells can remain attached to one another.
- Cocci that remain in pairs after dividing are called diplococci.
- Those that divide and remain attached in chain like patterns are called
streptococci.

15. Coccus (spherical); Arrangements
- Those that divide in three planes and remain attached in cubelike groups of
eight are called sarcinae.

16. Coccus (spherical); Arrangements
- Those that divide in multiple planes and form grapelike broad sheets are
called staphylococci .
- These group characteristics are helpful in identifying cocci.
Staphylococci
17. Bacillus (rod-shaped) ; Arrangements
- Bacilli divide only across their short axis, so there are fewer groupings of bacilli
than of cocci.
- Most bacilli appear as single rods .
- Scientific name: Bacillus or shape: bacillus
Single bacillus
18. Bacillus (rod-shaped) ; Arrangements
-Diplobacilli appear in pairs after division

21. Spiral bacteria ; Arrangements
- Spiral bacteria have one or more twists; they are never straight.
- Bacteria that look like curved rods are called vibrios.
Vibrio
22. Spiral bacteria ; Arrangements
-Spirillum, have a helical shape, like a corkscrew, and fairly rigid
bodies .
- The spirilla are used propeller-like external appendages called
flagella to move.
Spirillum
23. Spiral bacteria ; Arrangements
- Spirals they are helical and flexible are called spirochetes.
- Spirochetes move by means of axial filaments
Spirochete
24. In addition to the three basic shapes
- There are star-shaped cells (genus Stella).
- Rectangular, flat cells (halophilic archaea) of the genus Haloarcula .
Star-shaped bacteria Rectangular bacteria
25. In addition to the three basic shapes
-There are prokaryotes that look very much like triangles Haloarcula
japonica
- Or squares Holoquadratum walsbyi .
26. Structures External to the Cell Wall
The external structures in the prokaryotic cell wall are;
- Glycocalyx.
- Flagella.
- Axial filaments.
- Fimbriae.
- Pili.
27. 1- Glycocalyx
- Many prokaryotes secrete it on their surface.
- Glycocalyx (meaning sugar coat) that surround cells.
- It is a sticky, gelatinous polymer that is external to the cell wall.
- It composed of polysaccharide, polypeptide, or both.
- It is made inside the cell and secreted to the cell surface.
- If the substance is organized and attached to the cell wall , the glycocalyx
is described as a capsule.
-If the substance is unorganized and only loosely attached to the cell wall,
the glycocalyx is described as a slime layer.
- A glycocalyx that helps cells in a biofilm attach to their target environment
and to each other is called an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). The
EPS protects the cells It can provide nutrients.
28. 1- Glycocalyx
- The presence of a capsule can be determined by using negative
staining.
- In certain species, capsules are important for bacterial virulence .
- Capsules often protect pathogenic bacteria from phagocytosis by
the cells of the host.
- Streptococcus pneumoniae caused pneumonia only when the cells
are protected by a polysaccharide capsule.
- Unencapsulated S. plleumoniae cells cannot cause pneumonia
- The polysaccharide capsule of Klebsiella also prevents
phagocytosis and allows the bacterium to adhere to and colonize the
respiratory tract.
29. THE EUKARYOTIC CELL 1- The Cell Wall and Glycocalyx
1. The cell walls of many algae and some fungi contain cellulose.
2. The main material of fungal cell walls is chitin.
3. Yeast cell walls consist of glucan and mannan.
4. Animal cells are surrounded by a glycocalyx (carbohydrates), which
strengthens the cell and provides a means of attaehment to other cells.
5- Some of these carbohydrates are covalently bonded to proteins
(glycoproteins) and lipids (glycolipids) in the plasma membrane that
anchor the glycocalyx to the cell.
30. 2- Flagella
- Some prokaryotic cells
have flagella (singular:
flagellum ).
-Flagella are relatively
long filamentous
appendages consisting of a
filament that contains of
the globular (roughly
spherical) protein flagellin
arranged in several chains
that intertwine and form a
helix around a attached to
a hook ( consisting of a
different protein) and basal
body , which anchors the
flagellum to the cell wall
and plasma membrane.
33. 2- Flagella
- Prokaryotic flagella rotate to push
the cell.
- When a bacterium moves in one
direction for a length of time, the
movement is called a "run" or "swim.“
- Random changes in direction called
"tumbles.
- "Tumbles" are caused by a reversal
of flagellar rotation
- One advantage of motility is that it
enables a bacterium to move toward a
favorable environment or away from a
particular stimulus (taxis).
- Such stimuli include chemicals
(chemotaxis) and light (phototaxis).
-Bacterial cells can alter the speed and
direction of rotation of flagella and thus
are capable of various patterns of
motility.
-Motility the ability of an organism to
move by itself.
Run
Tumble

A bacterium running and tumbling. Notice
that the direction of flagellar rotation
(blue arrows) determines which of these
movements occurs. Gray arrows indicate
direction of movement of the microbe.
34. 2- Flagella
- Bacteria that lack flagella are referred to as atrichous .
- Flagella may be peritrichous (distributed over the entire cell)
- Polar (at one or both poles or ends of the cell).
- If polar, flagella may be monotrichous (a single flagellum at one pole)
- lophotrichous (a tuft of flagella coming from one pole).
- Amphitrichous (flagella at both poles of the cell).
Peritrichous Monotrichous and polar
Lophotrichous and polar Amphitrichous and polar
35. 2- Flagella
- Flagellar protein is an antigen.
- The flagellar protein called H antigen is useful for distinguishing a
variations species of gram negative bacteria .
- For example, there are at least 50 different H antigens for E. coli.
Those variations species identified as E. coli 0157:H7 are associated
with food borne epidemics.
36. THE EUKARYOTIC CELL 2- Flagella and Cilia
1. Flagella are few and long in relation to cell size; cilia are numerous
and short.
2. Flagella and cilia are used for motility, and cilia also move
substances along the surface of the cells.
3. Both flagella and cilia consist of an arrangement of nine pairs and
two single microtubules.

alga, with its flagellum.
Cilia

with cilia.
37. 3- Axial Filaments
- They are structures similar to that
of flagella (endoflagellum).
- Spiral cells that move by an
endoflagellum are called spirochetes.
- One of the best-known spirochetes
is Treponema pallidum
- Axial filaments are anchored at one
end of the spirochete.
- The rotation of the filaments
produces a movement of the outer
sheath that propels the spirochetes in
a spiral motion.
- This type of movement is similar to
the way a corkscrew moves through a
cork.
- This corkscrew motion probably
enables a bacterium such as T.
pallidum to move effectively through
body fluids.

spirochete for a cross section of axial filaments)
39. 4- Fimbriae and Pili
- Many gram-negative bacteria contain hairlike appendages that are
shorter, straighter, and thinner than flagella .
- They are used for attachment and transfer of DNA rather than for
motility.
- These structures, which consist of a protein called pilin arranged
helically around a central core, are divided into two types, fimbriae
and pili, having very different functions.
40. 4- Fimbriae and Pili
- Fimbriae (singular: fimbria)help cells adhere to surfaces.
- They can number anywhere from a few to several hundred per cell
- They are involved in forming biofilms
- Fimbriae can also help bacteria adhere to epithelial surfaces in the
body.
41. 4- Fimbriae and Pili
- The fimbriae of E. coli 0157 enable this bacterium to adhere to the
lining of the small intestine, where it causes a severe watery diarrhea.
- Pili (s ingular: pilus) are involved in twitching and gliding motility.
- also, involved in DNA transfer ,such pili are called conjugation (sex)
pili.
- Pili are usually longer than fimbriae and number only one or two per
cell.
