Chains of amino acids, folded into specific shapes. Enzymes, structural proteins (e.g., collagen), antibodies, and muscle proteins are examples. Nucleic Acids: Nucleotides, with a sugar, base, and phosphate group, form the structure of nucleic acids. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are nucleic acids. DNA consists of two strands forming a double helix and stores hereditary information. RNA is involved in protein synthesis and can act as an enzyme. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate): Important for energy transfer within cells. Composed of a single nucleotide with two extra energy-storing phosphate groups. The observations of Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow form the ______ theory, which has three parts: 1.All living things are made of one or more cells. 2.Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms. 3.All cells arise from existing cells.

substance
Tendons bind muscles to bones, providing essential support during ______
movement
Cytoskeleton: Microscopic fibers in the cytoplasm provide structural support to various cell structures. 3.Information center: All cells possess DNA, offering instructions for protein synthesis, regulation of cellular activities, and enabling the reproduction of cells. 4. Ribosomes: Most cells contain ribosomes, essential structures where proteins are synthesized, contributing to various cellular functions. 7 Lecture 5 General Biology There are two basic types of cells: Prokaryotes: meaning literally “before the nucleus.” They contain a single, large molecule of DNA not located in a membrane-bound nucleus, but found in a nuclear region, or ______
nucleoid
Eukaryotic: cells are larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. All eukaryotes (“true nucleus”) have cells with a membrane-bound nucleus containing ______.In addition, eukaryotic cells contain many other structures called organelles (“little organs”) that perform specific functions 8 Lecture 5 General Biology Cells membrane: The fluid-mosaic model, developed by Singer and Nicolson in 1972, describes the cell membrane as a dynamic double layer of proteins and phospholipids, exhibiting fluidity rather than solidity.This phospholipid bilayer forms a fluid sea were various proteins act like icebergs.The term mosaic reflects the diversity of proteins dispersed in the bilayer, constituting the outer boundary of the cell.
