Cellular Level of Organization

The document summarizes the basic parts and functions of a cell, including the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, organelles, and nucleus. It describes the plasma membrane as a semi-permeable lipid bilayer that facilitates transport and contains embedded proteins and carbohydrates. The cytoplasm contains the cytosol and organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA. Protein synthesis follows the central dogma of transcription from DNA to mRNA and translation from mRNA to protein. Cells undergo two types of cell division: somatic and reproductive, with reproductive division including both mitosis and meiosis to produce haploid cells.

Parts of a cell

1. Plasma membrane
2. Cytoplasm
3. Nucleus
Plasma membrane

• Composed of lipid bilayer


• Semi permeable
• With proteins and carbs
embedded
• Facilitates transport of
chemicals
cytoplasm

• Cytosol
• Organelles
organelles

• Endoplasmic reticulum
• Golgi complex
• Mitochondria
• Ribosomes
• Lysosome
• Peroxisomes
Nucleus

• Houses the DNA (genes)


Protein synthesis
• Central dogma - proteins are
made from codes from DNA
Protein synthesis
• Transcription – DNA to mRNA
• Translation – mRNA to Protein
• Post Translation events
Cell division
• Most cells undergo cell division
• Two types
1. Somatic
2. Reproductive
Cell division
• Cells are said to be diploid (46 chromosomes).
• Somatic cell division produce diploid cells while reproductive cell
division produce haploid (23 unpaired chromosomes)
• Reproductive cell division includes both mitosis and meiosis
• Thank you
