Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria, which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use. Plants and ...

The fine structure of the cells which line the canal of Lilium longiflorum pistils confirms the secretory function which has been ascribed to them The cells differ in structure from the secretory ...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms tight membrane contact sites (MCSs) with several organelles in animal cells and yeast. The function of MCSs between the ER and mitochondria and endosomes are ...

Researchers have developed artificial cell-like structures using inorganic matter that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material - recreating an essential function of living cells. Their ...

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of these ...

In a world first that challenges what we thought we knew about biology, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells that can photosynthesize. The breakthrough promises to revolutionize ...

Centrosomes are not essential for cell division in most animal cells, although they contribute to the efficiency of mitotic spindle assembly. Centrosome loss is tolerated surprisingly well in fly ...

The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.
