In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

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 ...

The following topics, among others, are conisidered: Pfeffer's hypothesis of an invisible plasma membrane, to account for similarities in the osmotic behavior of plant cells and artificial osmometers; ...

In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant and fungal cells, vacuoles help maintain cell structure. All eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, also known ...

This paper recounts recent work concerning the Na and K permeability of red blood cells. The discussion deals principally with results derived from isolated red-cell membranes, or ghosts. Using ...

Discussion: Our results indicate that NS treatment may cause damage to photosynthetic membrane lipids, whereas the increase in bilayer lipid DGDG may provide a kind of protection to maintain the ...

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to break down proteins, acids, large molecules, and unwanted materials ...
