A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within ...

The paper focused on enzymes that help build the photosynthetic chloroplast membranes in plant cells. One of those enzymes is ...

Coding sequences for the majority of chloroplast proteins have been lost, so these proteins are now encoded by the nuclear genome, synthesized in the cytoplasm, and transported from the cytoplasm ...

Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic ones because of specialized organelles. Learn how ancient collaborations between cells gave eukaryotes an important energy boost. Plant Cells ...

Plants also have some very specialised cells. Root hair cells don't have light absorbing chloroplast because they don't absorb light because they're underground. What they do have is a wide ...
