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 look at the cells of different organisms and a comparison of the structures found in plant and animal cells. All animal cells are surrounded by a membrane which contains the cytoplasm.

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells. Learn how special structures, such as chloroplasts and cell walls, create this distinction.

Sometimes just using a different tool makes the job a whole lot easier. A team of researchers co-led by the University of California San Diego has ...

Your body is one of the most complex natural structures ever ... from molecular building blocks that support human and plant cells, as well as help them to grow." To realize such scaffolds ...
