One of the most momentous events in the history of life involved endosymbiosis—a process by which one organism engulfed ...
You probably learned about organelles, those little "organs" inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste and ...
In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...
The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type ...
Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal membranes that encase their organelles and control the exchange of essential cell components. Both types of membranes have a specialized ...
Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.
In Japan, researchers have conducted an experiment as bizarre as it is fascinating, creating hybrid cells that are part ...
Researchers from the Structural Biology Brussels group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) have uncovered a significant ...
Within the sender cells are nanocontainers—essentially artificial organelles—whose membranes contain special light-sensitive molecules known as molecular motors.
A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate ...
