The Incredible Cell

A living cell is enormously complex. Biologist Francis Crick endeavours to describe its workings simply, but he finally realizes that he can go only so far, " because it is so complicated the reader should not attempt to struggle with all the details."

The instructions within the DNA of the cell," if written out, would fill a thousand 600-page books," explains National Geographic. " Each cell is a world brimming with as many as two hundred trillion tiny groups of atoms called molecules..... Our 46 chromosome 'treads' linked together would measure more than six feet. Yet the nucleus that contains them is less than four ten-thousandths of an inch in diametre."

Complex transportation systems guide specific chemicals from point to point within the cell and beyond. Sentries at the barricades control the export and import markets, and monitor the outside world for sighs of danger. Disciplined biological armies stand ready to grapple with invaders. A centralized genetic government maintains order."

CELL MEMBRANE:

The covering that controls what enters and leaves the cell.

RIBOSOMES

Structures on which amino acids are assembled into ptoteins.

NUCLEUS

Enclosed in a double-membrane envelope, it is the control centre that directs the cell's activities.

CHROMOSOMES

They contain the cell's DNA, its genetic master plan.

NUCLEOLUS

The site where ribosomes are assenbled.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Sheets of membranes that store or transport the proteins made by the ribosomes attached to them ( some ribosomes float free in the cell )

MITOCHONDRIA

Production centres for ATP, the molecules that supply energy for the cell.

GOLGI BODY

A group of flattened membrane sacs that package and distribute proteins made by the cell.

CENTRIOLES

They lie near the nucleus and are important in cell reproduction.

Hence, after becoming familiar with what a cell is all about, the question that we should all ask is, "Must someone have been involved in bringing life into existence?

Indeed, we should all come to the conclusion that a superb organization requires a superb organizer.

Here is what The Bible has to say in its first Book called Genesis 1: 27 in these words. " And God went on to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

Revelation 4: 11 reads. "You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created."

So our comprehension of what a cell is composed of and the way its works, should make us want to discover more about its Creator.

2 Timothy 3: 16,17reminds us that the Bible is a letter from God and beneficial for teaching, and setting things straight, so that we can become fully competent completely equipped for every good work.

It is also the way that God has chosen to communicate with the human race.

What is translation and where does it occur in the cell?

Translation is the process in which the cell's ribosomes use messenger RNA (mRNA) to synthesize proteins. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. The ribosomes read the mRNA sequence and construct the corresponding protein by linking amino acids together in the correct order.


In what part of the cell does translation occur?

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. It involves the synthesis of proteins using the information encoded in mRNA molecules. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring specific amino acids to the ribosomes, where they are joined together to form a protein.


Where do transcription and translation occur in prokaryotic cells?

It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Transcription and translation occur in prokaryotes at the same time because of the lack of nuclear membrane.RNA polymerase transcribes through the terminator sequence, causing the polymerase to fall off the DNA and release the transcript.


Where does translation occur in a plant cell?

Translation occurs in the ribosomes of a plant cell, specifically on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes are the organelles where mRNA is read and proteins are synthesized from amino acids.


Where in a cell does translation occur?

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm.in my homework assignment I have the same answer, my professor corrected it after counting it wrong and said the answer was...Cellular matrix at ribosomeThe mRNA strand is where the cell translation occurs. This is where the nucleus goes into the cytoplasm.

Where does transcriotion and translation occur?

Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell, where DNA is copied into mRNA. Translation takes place in the cytoplasm at the ribosomes, where mRNA is decoded to synthesize proteins.

Where in the cell des translation occur?

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, where ribosomes are located. Ribosomes can be free-floating in the cytosol or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum, forming rough ER. During translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded by ribosomes to synthesize proteins by linking amino acids together in the specified order.
