A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a ...

1 Despite having been overlooked for the last century, this has turned out to be a prescient description of the interior of eukaryotic cells. In addition to membrane-encased organelles—the nucleus, ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types of cell that they can be found in. Can you fill in the blanks to complete the table? Cell structure Description Function Cell type ...

Scientists have long studied membrane-bound compartments, called organelles, in plant cells, such as the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and most significantly, the nucleus, where DNA gets copied ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

Apicoplasts are organelles that were discovered in parasites like the one that causes malaria. How did scientists discover these organelles, and what do they do?

Microbes, traditionally thought to lack organelles, get a metabolic boost from geometric compartments that act as cauldrons for chemical reactions. Bioengineers are eager to harness the compartments ...

Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotes are divided into two distinct groups: the bacteria and the archaea, which scientists believe have unique ...

Prokaryotes are unicellular and lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They are generally smaller and simpler and include bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotes on the other hand are often ...
