In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and ...

A long series of experiments, beginning in 1956 and ending around 1980, established an outline of cell wall structure and demonstrated that penicillin inhibited one of the terminal steps in its ...

A new multi-institutional study led by researchers at Michigan State University has characterized how fungi adapt to restructure their cell walls, effectively thwarting current antifungal medications.

Father-of-two Jason Gumble, 31, of Drumalee Avenue, Dublin 7, was charged with the production of a chainsaw as a weapon, ...

They've also got a vacuole, chloroplasts and a cell wall, which are only found in plant cells and they can be a bit bigger than animal cells. Plants also have some very specialised cells.
