Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

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 natural ...

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to ...

Major topics include plant responses to light, carbon dioxide levels, mineral nutrition and abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and pests. Emphasis is on mechanisms by which changes in the ...

Leaves, essential for photosynthesis and other physiological functions, exhibit diverse shapes that help plants adapt to ...

Scientists at Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) are seeking to improve the thermal stability and moisture resistance of perovskite solar cells using 2D ...

The gene-regulating molecule HAN is an important regulator for plant growth. "We were able to show that HAN transmits the WOX5 signal and ensures that the CDF4 gene remains inactive in stem cells ...

“This observation that manipulating oxygen can improve cell function is especially important because it's a simple intervention that everyone can do to make their cell model a little bit closer to ...

A research team from the University of Basel has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete ...
