STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF NUCLEUS OF A CELL.pptxRASHMI M G
The nucleus is the part of a cell that contains DNA organized into chromosomes and is located in the middle of the cell. It is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, which is a double membrane that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The nuclear envelope contains nuclear pores, which are gateways that allow molecules to move into and out of the nucleus.
The Cell: The Histology Guide
Nucleus - The Cell: The Histology Guide - University of Leeds
The nucleus is found in the middle of the cells, and it contains DNA arranged in chromosomes. It is surrounded by the nuclear envelope, a double nuclear membrane (outer and inner), which separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The outer membrane is continuous with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Four elements, carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N), make up 99% of all
organisms by weight. Atoms are the basic unit of all matter. Molecules are two or more
atoms held together by chemical bonds, and compounds are molecules containing more than
one atomic element.
Organic compounds always contain carbon, and most also contain hydrogen. Molecules
that do not contain carbon are inorganic compounds. Some very simple compounds
containing carbon are also considered to be inorganic. lmportant inorganic molecules include
water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and minerals.
Atoms within a molecule are bound together by strong forces called atomic bonds. The
different properties of these bonds determine how the molecules move and interact within
the cell.

Water
. Most living organisms are about 70-90% water.
. Water is very cohesive (interconnected), has a high heat capacity (good at limiting heat
transfer) and is an excellent solvent for polar molecules.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
. Oxygen is needed to release energy from food molecules (in respiration).
. Carbon dioxide is the main source of carbon for organic compounds (by
photosynthesis).

3. The Leading Edge - VCE Biology
Nitrogen
o Nitrogen is 'fixed'from the atmosphere (by bacteria in the soil or plant roots) into
compounds that can be used by other organisms.
Minerals
. Small amounts of various minerals are used with organic molecules, e.g. enzymes.
Organic molecules
Large organic molecules made up of chains of many smaller sub-units (monomers) are
called biomacromolecules or polymers.
Carbo hydrates/polysacch arides
. most abundant organic compounds in nature
o major source of chemical energy
. energy stores for plants and animals, e.g. starch and glycogen respectively
o used in structural components of cells
o part of DNA and RNA
. combine with lipids and proteins to make membranes.
Carbohydrates are made up of C, H and O. ln simple carbohydrates, the general formula is
Cn(H2O)r, e.g. glucos€ CoHrzOo.
The sub-units of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, 'single sugars' (e.9. glucose,
galactose and fructose). Disaccharides, 'two sugars', are formed when two
monosaccharides are joined together and a molecule of water lost. Polysaccharides, 'many
sugars', are long chains or polymers of sugar sub-units.
Lipids
. non-polar (charge not separated) hydrophobic (water-hating) molecules
. fats and oils store energy
o phospholipids are essential components of membranes
. steroids (hormones and vitamins) are made from lipids
Lipids are made up of C, H and O. The sub-units are fatty acids, both unsaturated (one or
more double carbon bonds) and saturated (all single carbon bonds, maximum possible
hydrogen atoms in the molecule). Double bonds cause permanent kinks or bends in the fatty
acid chain. Mono-unsaturated fats have only one double bond, while polyunsaturated fatty
acids have two or more double bonds. The more double bonds, the more bends or kinks in
the chain. This means the molecules cannot pack tightly together, and so space is left
between molecules. This is what gives membranes their permeability.
Compound lipids can also contain phosphorus and nitrogen. Phospholipids are hydrophilic
(water-loving) at the phosphorus end and hydrophobic at the lipid end.

Proteins
. 20 common amino acid sub-units
. enzymes are catalysts (speed up the rates of reactions without being a part of the
reaction itself) for cellular reactions
. hormones communicate information around the body
. carrier molecules such as haemoglobin
. form channels in membranes
. also involved in the storage and transport of other molecules within and between cells
All proteins contain C, H, O and N. Some also contain phosphorus, sulfur or other elements.
The protein sub-units are called amino acids. The bonds between amino acids are called
peptide bonds, and proteins are also called polypeptides.
There are four levels describing the structure of proteins:
. Primary - Ihe actual sequence of amino acids
. Seco ndary - pleating or coiling of the chain held together by hydrogen bonds between
different amino acids
. Tertia4T - folding into a three-dimensional shape, usually globular or fibrous
. Quaternary - when two or more polypeptide chains join together to make a complex
molecule.
Nucleic acids
o gen€tic material of all organisms
. DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid, carries 'instructions' for building proteins
. RNA - ribonucleic acid, involved in polypeptide synthesis.
The sub-units of nucleic acids are nucleotides. There are only five different nucleotides in
nucleic acids, and they are distinguished by their bases - adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine
(G), thymine (T) and uracil (U). Adenine, cytosine and guanine are found in both DNA and
RNA. Thymine is found only in DNA, and uracil is found only in RNA.
ln DNA, sequences of bases are called genes. Multiple genes are carried in chains called
chromosomes. The nucleotides are organised into triplet codes or codons, which translate
into amino acids. The sequence of these amino acids determines the protein that is
synthesised. The proteins then determine all inherited characteristics of the organism.
. DNA nucleotides join in chains with distinctive ends because each nucleotide has a
phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar and one of the following nitrogen bases:
o purines - double-ring bases
o ff - adenine
r G - guanine
. pyrimidines - single-ring bases
o | - thymine
o Q - cYtosine
Complementary base pairing between A-T (double hydrogen bond) and G-C (triple
hydrogen bond) forms the 'rungs' of the 'twisted ladder' appearance of the double helix.
An organism's genome contains all of its genes. The proteome is the entire complement of
structural and functional proteins that are coded for by the genome.

Organelles and membranes
Membranes
. Possibly the most important part of a cell, the plasma membrane (also called the cell
membrane) selectively regulates movement of substances into and out of a cell. Most
organelles are also enveloped in membranes.
. Membranes create separate compartments within the cell, keeping different functioning
centres and substances apart and controlling the movement of substances between
the different compartments.
. Many chemical reactions occur in, on or around membranes.
. Plasma membranes are involved in cell recognition and intercellular communication,
both electrically and chemically
. Plasma membranes consist of a bilayer (double layer) of phospholipids with their
hydrophobic ends together (see diagram on page 14), as well as carbohydrates and
proteins. The bilayer of phospholipids is impermeable to water-soluble or polar
substances

Most of the different types of molecules within a bilayer can move around to a varying
extent. The fluid-mosaic model explains this movement.
Gholesterol is between the layers of phospholipids, making the structure more stable
by preventing the molecules from moving around too much. Cholesterol prevents the
membrane from breaking down and decreases permeability to polar molecules. Only

Synthesis of biomolecules
. The largest organelle in the cell is usually the nucleus, and most cells only have one.
Some cells, such as red blood cells, lose their nucleus after maturity. The nucleus has
a double-layered nuclear envelope containing many nuclear pores through which
many substances can pass.
. The nucleolus is the only visible structure within the nucleus in a non-dividing cell.
Nucleoli are rich in RNA and proteins and are the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
synthesis. There can be more than one nucleolus in the nucleus.
. The instructions for building enzymes and other proteins are in the DNA. This means
all cell maintenance and functions are regulated and controlled by the DNA in the
nucleus. Messenger RNA (mRNA)and rRNA, produced in the nucleus, pass out
through the nuclear pores into the cytoplasm.
. mRNA and rRNA bind with ribosomes and start protein synthesis. Amino acids are
added one at a time in the sequence outlined by the mRNA translation of the DNA.
Enzymes produced by free ribosomes usually function within the cytoplasm.
Ribosomes bound to endoplasmic reticulum, RER, usually produce proteins that are
used in membranes or are packaged into vesicles for export from the cell.
Packaging and transport of biomolecules
. Fats, phospholipids and steroids are synthesised by SER. SER is abundant in the cells
of steroid-secreting organs such as the testes and adrenal gland.
. The Golgi apparatus also packages polysaccharides and creates lysosomes, which are
membrane-bound vesicles budded off the Golgi apparatus. They contain enzymes that
are used to break down debris in the cell. Reusable material diffuses back into the
cytoplasm from the lysosomes, while unwanted material is expelled by exocytosis.
Gonstruction, packaging
ER is composed of interconnecting cisternae (membrane sacs) and branching tubes that are attached to the nuclear
membrane. The internal cavity, the lumen, contains enzymes and proteins that metabolise, synthesise and process other
molecules. They ensure that proteins have the correct 3-D shape and regulate the calcium concentration in the cytoplism.
2 As the proteins are synthesised, they pass into the lumen and then on to the Golgi apparatus. Here they are further
modified; carbohydrates and proteins are added to form glycoproteins.
3 The proteins are then packaged into vesicles, which fuse with the plasma membrane and release their contents into the
intercellular space by exocytosis.
