Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic ones because of specialized organelles. Learn how ancient collaborations between cells gave eukaryotes an important energy boost. Plant Cells ...

In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to target both chloroplast- and nuclear-encoded proteins to the thylakoid membranes that house the photosynthetic machinery (Fig. 1). The first SRP ...

The land plant chloroplast translocases were importing ATP and expelling ADP. Because the plastids of red algae and glaucophytes appear to resemble a more ancient form of the photosynthetic ...

Photosynthesis efficiency in plants is influenced by the type of nitrogen absorbed. Ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) are the primary nitrogen sources, each affecting plant physiology differently.

A billion years ago or so, it happened again with the chloroplast, and that gave us plants." According to the study published ...

Plants also have some very specialised cells. Root hair cells don't have light absorbing chloroplast because they don't absorb light because they're underground. What they do have is a wide ...
