A comprehensive diagram of a human cell nucleus. Date: 27 April 2006: Source: I did it myself with adobe ilustrator using the information found here , ,, and : Author: Mariana Ruiz LadyofHats: Permission (Reusing this file)
Diagram of the nucleus showing the ribosome-studded outer nuclear membrane, nuclear pores, DNA (complexed as chromatin), and the nucleolus. The nucleus contains nearly all of the cell's DNA , surrounded by a network of fibrous intermediate filaments called the nuclear matrix , and is enveloped in a double membrane called the nuclear envelope .
A table or chart of nuclides is a two-dimensional graph of isotopes of the elements, in which one axis represents the number of neutrons (symbol N) and the other represents the number of protons (atomic number, symbol Z) in the atomic nucleus. Each point plotted on the graph thus represents a nuclide of a known or hypothetical chemical element.
This diagram shows the half-life (T 1 ⁄ 2) of various isotopes with Z protons and N neutrons. Every element has one or more isotopes that have unstable nuclei that are subject to radioactive decay, causing the nucleus to emit particles or electromagnetic radiation.
The various forms of life are caused by an appropriate mixture of elements. [46] Democritus (460 BC) was an atomist ; he thought that the essential characteristic of life was having a soul ( psyche ), and that the soul, like everything else, was composed of fiery atoms.
Ubiquitous, essential for all forms of life; all proteins and nucleic acids contain substantial amounts of nitrogen. [11] Toxic in some forms. [11] osmium: 76: 1a: None known. [11] Osmium is very rare, substantially more so than any element essential to life. [3] The oxide is toxic to humans. [11] oxygen: 8: 5
NADs are associated with nucleolus function. The nucleolus is the largest sub-organelle within the nucleus and is the principal site for rRNA transcription. It also acts in signal recognition particle biosynthesis, protein sequestration, and viral replication. [36] The nucleolus forms around rDNA genes from different chromosomes.
