Biochemistry 3381A Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Golgi Apparatus, Dna Replication, Euchromatin
Document Summary
Objectives: anatomy organelle names, physiology organelle functions, concepts effect of dividing up the cell. Most answers discovered in bio are easy ones. Small cells that have revealed the most info, as it can be easily adjusted. Cells constantly sharing info through different routes, i. e. hormones or cells nearby. Own pattern of individual units that contain genetic material. Unable to work out differences between different parts of the cell. Complexity increases with the size of the genome. Thus prokaryotes with smaller genomes have a lower complexity than eukaryotes with larger genomes. The way the proteins interact with each other and segregate themselves into different compartments. Organelle a sub-cellular structure at the microscopic scale with one or more overall functions. (something slightly unknown about it). Not all surrounded by membranes but somehow separated by cell. Ribosome is a complex so well understood that there is no mystery left.
