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 team of researchers recently incorporated photosynthetically active chloroplasts into cultured animal cells for the first time ever. In the study, the researchers inserted energy-making ...

In previous years his team had designed selection systems that showed efficient gene transfer within a cell from chloroplasts to the nucleus. These results led Bock to ask whether this exchange is ...

Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a nucleus, a cell membrane and cytoplasm. They've also got a vacuole, chloroplasts and a cell wall, which are only found in plant cells and they can be a ...

From left, postdoctoral researcher Bidhan Chandra De, chemistry professor Angad Mehta and their colleagues found evidence suggesting that chloroplasts ... in plant cells. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

Both organelles produce ATP, the molecule that powers most chemical reactions in living cells ... might shed light on chloroplast evolution, Mehta and his team studied the translocases in plastids ...
