How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled ...

On average, phytoplankton are only five to 10 percent heavier than seawater. This means if they want to remain at the surface ...

Many plankton journey from the cold, dark depths of our oceans to the surface, only to eventually drift down again into the ...

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 ...

Further investigation showed this expansion happens as a natural part of the plankton’s cell cycle. Once a single-celled plankton divides into two, an internal structure called a vacuole, a kind of ...

Plant cells have a rigid cell structure. They are made up of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus, and chloroplasts. Plants feel firm because of their cellular walls.

Plant vacuole is another crucial organelle in tobacco, occupying about 80% to 90% of cell volume in tobacco leaves. The PMF technology utilizes this huge storage capacity for recombinant protein ...

Researchers have discovered that the bioluminescent phytoplankton Pyrocystis noctiluca can rapidly inflate, allowing them to ...

Thermo Scientific discusses the finding of a novel organelle in a deep-sea protist through 3D ultrastructural ...

A eukaryotic cell is composed of many different compartments (eg. nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum). Each of these organelles is surrounded by a membrane, thus ...

Autophagy, a eukaryotic mechanism for breaking down cellular components, is a vital process in lytic organelles such as vacuoles in yeast and plants, and lysosomes in animals. Research has ...
