How proteins in our cells attain their correct three-dimensional structure is crucial to their function—and to our health.

To extend and apply their improved models challenge learners to create a totally new model to illustrate and communicate the dynamic nature and function of the cell as illustrated in the narrative.

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis.

Cell: Structure and Functions The cell is the structural and functional unit of living organisms. It was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. Cell in Latin means “little room”.

Includes laboratory. A study of the dynamic aspects of the structure, function and regulation of eukaryotic cells. The molecular nature of the gene and gene expression are examined. The intercellular ...

Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex, multicellular life, including apple trees, mushrooms, fish and humans. Their defining feature is the presence of membrane-bound organelles, ...
