All living things are cells or composed of cells.
The interior contents of cells in the cytoplasm.
Cell, in biology, the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed.
A single cell is often a complete organism in itself, such as a bacterium or yeast.
Other cells acquire specialized functions as they mature.
These cells cooperate with other specialized cells and become the building blocks of large multicellular organisms, such as humans and other animals.
The smallest known cells are a group of tiny bacteria called mycoplasmas; some of these single-celled organisms are spheres as small as 0.2 μm in diameter.
Largest cell ….
The largest single-celled organism is an animal
called Syringammina fragilissima, which can grow to a width of 4 inches.
– are highly folded, forming a complex network of tubes.
The biological science which deals with the study of structure, function, molecular organization, growth, reproduction, and genetics of the cells, is called cytology or cell biology
(Gr., kytos = hollow vessel or cell; logos = to discourse).
Much of cell biology is devoted to the study of structures and functions of specialized cells.
Individual cells that form our bodies can grow, reproduce, process information, respond to stimuli, and carry out an amazing array of chemical reactions.
The word cell is derived from the Latin word “cellula” which means “a little room”
It was the British botanist Robert Hooke who, in 1664, while examining a slice of bottle cork under a microscope, found its structure resembling the box-like living quarters of the monks in a monastery, and coined the word “cells”

Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Students will be able to answer the questions;
1. What is the cell theory?
2. What are the types of microscopes?
3. What are the differences between prokaryotes and
eukaryotes?
4. What is the cell specialization and organization?
5. How do substances pass through cells?
1. The wonderful world of cells!
A fascinating insight into the world of
cells, who discovered them, the
different types and what they are
made up of.
2. Microscopes
Light microscope Electron microscope
Uses light rays Uses electron ‘beams’
Magnification – x2000 Magnification – x500,000
Resolving power – 200nm Resolving power – 1nm
Focused by glass lenses Focused by electromagnets
Specimens can be living or Specimens must be dead
dead
Small, portable and Large, static and very
relatively inexpensive expensive
3. Microscopes
Magnification – to make an image appear bigger
To calculate the magnifying power of a
microscope:
eye piece lens magnification X objective lens
Resolution – the minimum distance between 2
points at which they are still visible as 2 separate
points
4. Robert Hooke
He looked at cork
cells under a
microscope and
used the term
‘cell’. The holes
that he observed
where once filled
with living material
(cytoplasm)
8. Cell theory with the cell
Schwann and Schleiden came up
theory.
They proposed that all plants and animals
were made up of cells and that cells were
the basic units of life
Another scientist, Rudolf Virchow discovered
that new cells can only arise from the
division of pre-existing ones.
9. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells
No true nucleus Distinct nucleus
Few organelles except for surrounded by a nuclear
envelope
small ribosomes
Many membrane bound
Single strand of genetic organelles
material free in the cell Genetic material is stored
Simple structure in the nucleus
Small in size Highly organized to carry
Include bacteria and out complex functions
blue/green algae Large in size
Include plants, animals
and fungi
13. Animal cells: these are cheek cells as
seen with a compound microscope,
compare these cells to the next ones
seen through an electron microscope.
14.
15. Plant and animal cells
Cellulose cell wall No cell wall
Chloroplasts No chloroplasts
Large permanent Small, temporary
vacuole with cell sap vacuoles
No centrioles Centrioles present
Starch grains for Glycogen granules
storage for storage
18. Cytoplasm
Watery, jelly-like material
Contains many substances for metabolism
The other organelles are suspended in it
19. Cellulose cell wall
Many cellulose fibers glued together
Strong to resist expansion of the cell as
water enters – this supports the cell
Provides mechanical strength to the cell
Freely permeable
20. Vacuole
Large permanent vacuole in plant cells is
called a central vacuole. It contains cell
sap, a solution of sugar and minerals.
They are food stores
They accumulate waste products
Some contain pigments to give color
Vacuoles in animal cells are small and
temporary
21. Nucleus
Largest cell organelle
Surrounded by a double membrane that
allows materials to pass in and out
Contains genetic material (DNA) which is
used to make proteins
Controls the metabolic activity of the cell
22. Nucleolus
Found in the nucleus
Dense, spherical structure
Contains RNA for the production of
ribosomes
23. Ribosomes
Small, dense organelles
Can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to
rough endoplasmic reticulum
They are made in the nucleolus
They are the site of protein synthesis
24. Endoplasmic reticulum
Complex system of double membranes with
fluid-filled sacs in between called cisternae
Connected with the nuclear membrane and the
cell membrane
It collects, stores and distributes materials
Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on
it. It packages and transports proteins made by
ribosomes
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the site of lipid
(fat) synthesis.
25.
26. Golgi complex
Also known as golgi body or apparatus
Made from small pieces of rough ER
pinched off at the end to form vesicles
which fuse together
Site of protein modification
Vesicles pinch off at the ends to carry the
new chemicals away (some vesicles
become lysosomes)
27. Lysosomes
Small vesicles formed when pieces of the golgi
body pinch off
Contain hydrolytic enzymes that can digest cell
material
They destroy worn out organelles
They can destroy material brought into the cell
(e.g. bacteria)
They can release enzymes out of the cell to digest
other cells
They can cause the cell to self destruct
28. Mitochondria
Has a double membrane. The outer one
controls entry of materials and the inner
one has many folds called cristae
Has a matrix containing DNA, ribosomes
and enzymes
Site of aerobic respiration
The more active the cell, the more
mitochondria it has
29. Chloroplasts
Found in plants cells that carry out
photosynthesis
They are the site of photosynthesis
They have a double membrane filled with fluid
(stroma) where the photosynthesis reactions take
place
The stroma contains piles of flattened scas
(grana) where chlorophyll is found and light is
absorbed
30. Cytoskeleton
This is a network of fibrous proteins
It allows movement and gives the cell
shape and support
It is made up of microtubules and
microfilaments
31. Centrioles
These are 2 short bundles of microtubules
positioned at right angles to each other.
They are found just outside the nucleus in
animal cells
During cell division, they move to opposite
ends of the cell and produce the spindle
32. Flagella
Also made up of microtubules
Often used to help cells move (e.g. sperm)
33. Cell membrane
Made up of a bilayer of phospholipids that
allows some materials through but not
others (semi-permeable)
Contains proteins that can act as pores,
carriers or be involved in cell recognition
The main function is to regulate the
movement of molecules and ions
34.
35. Cell membrane structure
Made up of a bilayer of phospholipids.
They have a polar end (water liking) and a
non-polar end (water hating)
Protein carrier molecules are found
embedded in the cell membrane; these
molecules form specific bridges allowing
specific molecules to pass through
36. Transport across membranes
The cell membrane is thin and provides a large
surface area for diffusion to occur
Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions
from a region of high concentration to a region of
low concentration until they are spread out evenly
(down a concentration gradient)
A big difference in concentration, an increase in
temperature, small molecules and a short
diffusion distance makes the rate of diffusion
faster
37.
38. Facilitated diffusion
This allows faster movement
It involves the use of proteins to assist (facilitate)
diffusion
Specific channel proteins form pores for specific
molecules
Carrier molecules bind to specific molecules,
change shape and deliver the molecule to the
other side of the membrane
39.
40. Osmosis
This is the diffusion of water molecules
They move from where they are in a high
concentration (a dilute solution) to where
they are in a low concentration (a
concentrated solution)
41. Osmosis in plant cells
As water enters a plant cell, the cell starts to
swell. The cell wall starts to resist the stretching
which creates pressure
When no more water can enter the cell, it is said
to be TURGID. This provides strength and
support to the cell
If water leaves a cell, the membrane can pull
away from the cell wall. This causes a plant to
wilt
42.
43. Different solutions
Solution – a mixture of 2 or more substances
Solvent – the liquid that a substance dissolves in
Solute – the substance that dissolves in a solvent
Hypotonic – a weak solution: weaker in solute
concentration than cell
Hypertonic – a strong solution: stronger in solute
concentration than cell
Isotonic – a solution with the same concentration
as cell.
44.
45. Active transport
Moving molecules
against a
concentration gradient
(from low to high
concentration)
It requires special
carrier proteins called
membrane pumps
It uses energy in the
form of ATP
46. Endocytosis and exocytosis
For molecules too large to pass through the
membrane
Endocytosis – taking materials into the cell by
closing the cell membrane around it to form a
vesicle (There are 2 types, pincytosis and
phagocytosis)
Exocytosis – material in vesicles in the cell fuse
with the cell membrane and are released
