Science of Biology By: Parviz Heidari
3
elements of life
4
Organic Molecules Organic molecules are molecules composed of carbons and hydrogen, and often containing other elements such as phosphorus, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen
5
Cellular Organization
Prokaryotic cells don’t contain membrane-bound organelles Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles
7
Macromolecules
8
Carbohydrates There are two types: The simple sugars
Glucose, sucrose, fructose, … The complex carbohydrates long chains of sugars (Starches, cellulose, glycogen)
9
The simple sugars All carbohydrates are made up of units of sugar (also called saccharide units). Carbohydrates that contain only one sugar unit are called monosaccharides.

24
Lipids Insoluble water Fats are a sub group of lipids
Other lipids include waxes, and steroids, such as cholesterol
25
Fats
26
Saturated and unsaturated fatty acid
27
Cell and cell structures
29
Cell Division Mitosis Meiosis

31
Meiosis
32
Crossing over
34
Cell organelle
35
Ribosome
36
Cell membrane
37
passive and active transport
38
Endoplasmic Reticulum
39
Golgi Apparatus
40
Golgi Apparatus Present in most eukaryotic cells
One major function is to modify, sort, and package proteins to be secreted.
41
Mitochondria
42
Mitochondria Produce the energy Pyruvate and the citric acid cycle
NADH and FADH2: the electron transport chain Heat production Storage of calcium ions
43
Plasts
44
Chloroplast
45
Chloroplast The main role of chloroplasts is to conduct photosynthesis, where the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll captures the energy from sunlight and converts it and stores it in the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH while freeing oxygen from water. Function Plant innate immunity Photosynthesis Energy carriers Amino acid synthesis Sugars and starches ….
46
Microbodies Microbodies contain enzymes that participate in the preparatory or intermediate stages of biochemical reactions within the cell. This facilitates the breakdown of fats, alcohols and amino acids. Generally microbodies are involved in detoxification of peroxides and in photo respiration in plants.
47
Different types of microbodies
Peroxisomes break down large molecules and detoxify hazardous substances Glyoxysomes convert stored lipids into carbohydrates
48
Lysosomes Spherical vesicles which contain hydrolytic enzymes that can break down virtually all kinds of biomolecules
49
Vacuole Containing waste products Containing water in plant cells
Exporting unwanted substances from the cell Maintaining an acidic internal pH
50
The Cell Nucleus
