CELLWALL

Image
The membrane which is out side the Plasma membrane is called Cellwall. Discovered by - Robert Hook - it has outer wall of cell.  -  rigid membrane.  -  provide Strangth of cell.  -  it is found in Plant cell, Fungi, Prokaryot( except Mycoplasma).  NOTE-Mycoplasma is smallest cell without cellwall.  Chemical nature of cell wall-: 1)  Prokaryotic cell wall - Peptidoglycon .  2)  Fungus cell wall- Chitin (homo polysaccharides which is N-acetyl glucosamine).   3)  Plant cell wall- Cellulose . NOTE-In animal cellwall are absent.  Structure of cell wall-: Cell wall is Madeup of 3 layer-:             Middle lamella ( innermost layer )                # Madeup of Ca & Mg pactet                        ।।।            1)   Primary cellwall       ...

Plasma membrane

*Plasma membrane is also called Bio-membrane/Cell membrane. Properties of Plasma membrane-:  - Madeup of (Protein+ Phospholipid).    - it is selectively permable membrane.   - it is a Dynamic membrane. Type of Plasma Membrane-: These are mainly three type   1) Sandwich Model  2) Unit Membrane Model  3) Fluid Mosaic Model  1)Sandwich Model-:    - given by " Danielli & Davson"    Ques - Why this is called sandwich model?   Ans a)  Plasma membrane are Madeup of Protein & Phospholipid.         b)  Protein are Madeup of alpha-globular structure.           c) Phospholipid are amphipathic in nature. Amphipathic means--each Phospholipid are two end - 1)Head end which is madeup of glycerol and Hydrophilic(loving with water) in nature.    2)Tail end which is madeup of Fatty acid chain and Hydrophobic(hate with water) in nature.     ...

CELL- The Unit of life

Cell discovered by - Robert Hooke he observed slide of cork structure. This cork was plant of Quercas .  * Cork is dead structure.  * 1stly Robert Hooke discovered- Dead Cell . * 1stly Antonvan leeuwenhock discovered - Living Cell. *Robert Brown - discovered the Nucleus. * Cell theory was given by - Schleiden & Schwann.  # Size of Cell-: 1- Smallest cell-PPLO/Mycoplasma(these are without cellwall).  Note - 1) Smallest cell with cellwall-Bacteria/Prokaryote.  2) -Largest cell - Ostrich egg cell. #Shape, Size of all type of cell-: a) irregular cell-Amoeba & WBC b) Spindle Shape-Smooth muscle fiber c) Rectangular shape- Skeletal muscle  TYPE OF CELL-: 1) Prokaryotic cell 2) Eukaryotic cell 1) Prokaryotic cell-: # Structure of Prokaryotic cell * 70s type Ribosome * cell wall madeup-Peptidoglycon * membrane bound organelles are absent.  * all enzyme present in cytoplasm.  * DNA are circular.          Eg. Bacteria...
