Eukaryotic cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic prokaryotes, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic ...

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

The research in the Caplan lab focuses on the role of organelle dynamics during plant innate immunity. Specifically, we are interested in how and why chloroplasts dramatically change their morphology ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types ... plant cell or fungal cell Chloroplasts Disc-shaped structures found in cytoplasm Location where photosynthesis occurs and sugar ...

Scientists agree this process occurred twice, leading to the development of mitochondria—organelles that produce energy—and later, plastids, including chloroplasts, which enable photosynthesis.

Plants produce food through photosynthesis. Most of this process takes place in an organelle unique to plant cells, called the chloroplast. Students can be challenged to describe the differences ...
