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 Japanese team has developed a technique to insert chloroplasts isolated from algae into animal cells, a feat that could ...

A three-dimensional structure of cpSRP43 provides insights into how plants have adapted the SRP for post-translational targeting of membrane proteins. In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to ...

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

The chloroplast thylakoid membrane is the site for the initial steps of photosynthesis that convert solar energy into chemical energy, ultimately powering almost all life on earth. The heterogeneous ...

Chloroplasts close chloroplastStructures found ... Most animal cells possess a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) of the organism ...

We are investigating cell biological processes in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This unicellular green alga is a popular model organism for research of chloroplast biogenesis and ...

Most plants (as well as algae) use chloroplasts to harness the energy of sunlight, which they mix with water and carbon dioxide to produce the carbohydrates they need to grow, releasing oxygen as ...

Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is performed by tiny organelles known as chloroplasts, which convert sunlight into oxygen ...
