This document outlines the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, as well as describes the main organelles found within eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells like bacteria lack membrane-bound organelles and have simpler structures, while eukaryotic cells like plant and animal cells have organelles enclosed in membranes and more complex cellular components. The document then provides details on the structures and functions of the major organelle components of eukaryotic cells, including the plasma membrane, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and more.
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.
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus surrounded by a nuclear membrane, contain organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts, and are generally larger than prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and most organelles, have only a single chromosome, and are generally unicellular. Key differences include eukaryotic cells having a nucleus with a nuclear membrane, multiple chromosomes, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts, and being generally larger and multicellular compared to prokaryotic cells which lack most organelles and a nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells like E. coli have a simple structure without membrane-bound organelles. They have a cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, pili, flagella, ribosomes, and a nucleoid region containing naked DNA. Each of these structures serves important functions - the cell wall provides structure, the plasma membrane controls substance transfer, pili allow adhesion, flagella provide locomotion, ribosomes synthesize proteins, and the nucleoid stores genetic information. Prokaryotes reproduce through binary fission, where one cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
The document discusses the structure and function of cells and their organelles. It defines cells as the fundamental unit of life and notes they have two main parts: functional regions and organelles. The functional regions discussed are the plasma membrane, cell wall, and nucleus. The plasma membrane regulates movement of molecules in and out of the cell. The cell wall provides structural strength in plant, fungi, and bacteria cells. The nucleus houses genetic material and controls cell activities. Various organelles in the cytoplasm like mitochondria, plastids, endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuoles are described along with their functions in cellular processes.

Various organelles in the cytoplasm like mitochondria, plastids, endoplasmic reticulum, and vacuoles are described along with their functions in cellular processes.
Prokaryotic cells like bacteria do not have a well-defined nucleus. Their genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus and is located in the cytoplasm. Bacteria have a complex cell envelope made of three layers - glycocalyx, plasma membrane, and cell wall. The cell is filled with cytoplasm and contains plasmids in addition to genomic DNA. Eukaryotic cells have an organized nucleus enclosed in a nuclear envelope and contain organelles within their cytoplasm. Plant and animal cells are examples of eukaryotic cells. The cell membrane is a bilayer made of phospholipids and proteins. It is selectively permeable and transports molecules in and out via passive diffusion and active transport using ATP.
The nucleus is a double-membrane organelle found in eukaryotic cells that contains most of the cell's genetic material. It has a spherical shape but can be other shapes depending on the cell. The nucleus contains chromatin with DNA, nucleolus, and is surrounded by a nuclear envelope. It acts as the control center of the cell by transmitting genetic information for protein synthesis, cell division, growth and differentiation.
This document summarizes the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane and various membrane-bound organelles. Some key organelles present in eukaryotic but not prokaryotic cells include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller than eukaryotic cells and lack complex internal structures like the cytoskeleton. Their DNA is also not bound in histones and they do not have linear chromosomes with centromeres.
Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, lack membrane-bound organelles, and have a single circular chromosome. In contrast, eukaryotic cells are generally larger, have membrane-bound organelles including a nucleus surrounded by a double membrane, and multiple linear or circular chromosomes. The key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are their size, presence of membrane-bound organelles, number and structure of chromosomes.
The document discusses the history and development of microscopy and cell theory. It begins with early microscopes like hand lenses and single lens microscopes used to first observe cells. Today, electron microscopes like SEM and TEM are used.

This document discusses and compares prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It provides information on their key structures and functions. Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and include bacteria. They have a cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and can reproduce asexually. Eukaryotic cells are larger, have membrane-bound organelles and a true nucleus, and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Examples of eukaryotes include plants, animals and fungi. The document provides details on specific structures like the nucleus, cell membrane, and flagella in both cell types.
The cytoplasm contains organelles and inclusions and is where most cellular activities occur. The cytoskeleton acts as the cell's structure and includes microtubules, filaments and microfilaments. Cilia, flagella and microvilli project from the cell membrane and have specific functions. Organelles such as mitochondria generate energy, the endoplasmic reticulum modifies proteins, vesicles transport materials and the golgi apparatus packages proteins. The nucleus contains the nucleolus and chromosomal DNA and directs cell activities. Mitosis involves specific phases that result in two daughter cells each with the same genetic material.
1. Cell division occurs through mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces identical body cells for growth and development, while meiosis produces gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes.
2. The cell cycle consists of interphase, where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA, and division via mitosis or meiosis. Mitosis involves nuclear division through prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase followed by cytoplasmic division.
3. Meiosis involves two rounds of division resulting in four gametes with half the normal number of chromosomes to allow for fertilization and restoration of the normal chromosome number.

It defines cells as the basic unit of life and describes their key components including the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, lysosomes, vacuoles, flagella, and cytoskeleton. It distinguishes between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and compares their features. The functions of cells include growth and metabolism through breaking down nutrients to produce energy, protein synthesis, creation of new cells, and movement.
Eukaryotic cells contain several organelles that perform essential functions. The cell wall provides structural support to plant and fungal cells and is made of cellulose or chitin. The cell membrane forms a protective barrier around the cell and is composed of lipids and proteins that regulate what enters and exits the cell. Within the cell is the nucleus that houses the cell's DNA, as well as other organelles like mitochondria that generate energy, the endoplasmic reticulum that synthesizes proteins and lipids, and ribosomes that produce proteins using instructions from DNA.
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus. Eukaryotes can be single-celled or multi-celled, such as you, me, plants, fungi, and insects. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelle.
All living things are made of one or more cells. Cells are the basic units of life and contain organelles that allow chemical reactions to occur. Key organelles include the nucleus, which contains DNA; mitochondria, which generate energy; and the cell membrane, which encloses the cell. Robert Hooke first observed cells in 1665 using a microscope. The cell theory, developed in 1839, states that cells are the fundamental unit of life and all cells come from pre-existing cells.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

2. Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke.
Early studies of cells were conducted by
- Mathias Schleiden (1838)
- Theodor Schwann (1839)
Schleiden and Schwann proposed the Cell
Theory.
3. Cell Theory
1. All organisms are composed of cells.
2. Cells are the smallest living things.
3. Cells arise only from pre-existing cells.
All cells today represent a continuous line of
descent from the first living cells.

4. Cell size is limited.
-As cell size increases, it takes longer for
material to diffuse from the cell membrane
to the interior of the cell.
Surface area-to-volume ratio: as a cell
increases in size, the volume increases 10x
faster than the surface area
5. Microscopes are required to visualize cells.
Light microscopes can resolve structures that
are 200nm apart.
Electron microscopes can resolve structures
that are 0.2nm apart.
6. All cells have certain structures in common.
1. genetic material – in a nucleoid or nucleus
2. cytoplasm – a semifluid matrix
3. plasma membrane – a phospholipid bilayer
6
7. Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound
nucleus.
-genetic material is present in the nucleoid
Two types of prokaryotes:
-archaea
-bacteria
8. Prokaryotic cells possess
-genetic material in the nucleoid
-cytoplasm
-plasma membrane
-cell wall
-ribosomes
-no membrane-bound organelles
9.
10. Prokaryotic cell walls
-protect the cell and maintain cell shape
Bacterial cell walls
-may be composed of peptidoglycan
-may be Gram positive or Gram negative
Archaean cell walls lack peptidoglycan.
13. Eukaryotic cells
-possess a membrane-bound nucleus
-are more complex than prokaryotic cells
-compartmentalize many cellular functions
within organelles and the endomembrane
system
-possess a cytoskeleton for support and to
maintain cellular structure
14.
15. Nucleus
-stores the genetic material of the cell in the
form of multiple, linear chromosomes
-surrounded by a nuclear envelope
composed of 2 phospholipid bilayers
-in chromosomes – DNA is organized with
proteins to form chromatin
16.
17. Ribosomes
-the site of protein synthesis in the cell
-composed of ribosomal RNA and proteins
-found within the cytosol of the cytoplasm
and attached to internal membranes
18. Endomembrane system
-a series of membranes throughout the
cytoplasm
-divides cell into compartments where
different cellular functions occur
1. endoplasmic reticulum
2. Golgi apparatus
3. lysosomes
19. Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
-membranes that create a network of
channels throughout the cytoplasm
-attachment of ribosomes to the membrane
gives a rough appearance
-synthesis of proteins to be secreted, sent to
lysosomes or plasma membrane
20. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)
-relatively few ribosomes attached
-functions:
-synthesis of membrane lipids
-calcium storage
-detoxification of foreign substances
21.
22. Golgi apparatus
-flattened stacks of interconnected
membranes
-packaging and distribution of materials to
different parts of the cell
-synthesis of cell wall components
23. Lysosomes
-membrane bound vesicles containing
digestive enzymes to break down
macromolecules
-destroy cells or foreign matter that the cell
has engulfed by phagocytosis
24. Microbodies
-membrane bound vesicles
-contain enzymes
-not part of the endomembrane system
-glyoxysomes in plants contain enzymes for
converting fats to carbohydrates
-peroxisomes contain oxidative enzymes and
catalase
25. Vacuoles
-membrane-bound structures with various
functions depending on the cell type
There are different types of vacuoles:
-central vacuole in plant cells
-contractile vacuole of some protists
-vacuoles for storage
26. Mitochondria
-organelles present in all types of eukaryotic
cells
-contain oxidative metabolism enzymes for
transferring the energy within
macromolecules to ATP
-found in all types of eukaryotic cells
27. -surrounded by 2 membranes
-smooth outer membrane
-folded inner membrane with layers
called cristae
-matrix is within the inner membrane
-intermembrane space is located between
the two membranes
-contain their own DNA
28.
29. Chloroplasts
-organelles present in cells of plants and
some other eukaryotes
-contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis
-surrounded by 2 membranes
-thylakoids are membranous sacs within the
inner membrane
-grana are stacks of thylakoids
30.
31. Endosymbiosis
-proposal that eukaryotic organelles evolved
through a symbiotic relationship
-one cell engulfed a second cell and a
symbiotic relationship developed
-mitochondria and chloroplasts are thought
to have evolved this way
32. Much evidence supports this endosymbiosis
theory.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts:
-have 2 membranes
-possess DNA and ribosomes
-are about the size of a prokaryotic cell
-divide by a process similar to bacteria
33. Cytoskeleton
-network of protein fibers found in all
eukaryotic cells
-supports the shape of the cell
-keeps organelles in fixed locations
-helps move materials within the cell
34. Cytoskeleton fibers include
-actin filaments – responsible for cellular
contractions, crawling, “pinching”
-microtubules – provide organization to the
cell and move materials within the cell
-intermediate filaments – provide structural
stability
35.
36. Cell movement takes different forms.
-Crawling is accomplished via actin filaments
and the protein myosin.
-Flagella undulate to move a cell.
-Cilia can be arranged in rows on the surface
of a eukaryotic cell to propel a cell forward.
37. The cilia and flagella of eukaryotic cells have a
similar structure:
-9-2 structure: 9 pairs of microtubules
surrounded by a 2 central microtubules
-Cilia are usually more numerous than
flagella on a cell.
40. Cell walls
-present surrounding the cells of plants,
fungi, and some protists
-the carbohydrates present in the cell wall
vary depending on the cell type:
-plant and protist cell walls - cellulose
-fungal cell walls - chitin
41. Extracellular matrix (ECM)
-surrounds animal cells
-composed of glycoproteins and fibrous
proteins such as collagen
-may be connected to the cytoplasm via
integrin proteins present in the plasma
membrane
