- Glycolipids are found on the surface of the cell membrane, and they have carbohydrate sugars attached to them. (databasefootball.com)
Mitochondrial2
- Notice the inner and outer membranes, the cristae, and the mitochondrial matrix. (pressbooks.pub)
- The FHA cycle is active inside the cell, detoxifying superoxide anion radicals (O2·-), which are mainly generated as a result of so-called 'electron leakage' to triplet oxygen (O2) in photosynthetic, mitochondrial, peroxisomal, and probably other electron transport chains (Ozyigit et al. (deepdyve.com)
Compartments1
- Each individual chloroplast is sectioned by membranes into disk shaped compartments called thylakoids. (aquariumplants.com)
Structures called1
- A plant is made up of microscopic living structures called cells. (factmonster.com)
Sacs called1
- Like mitochondria, chloroplasts have outer and inner membranes, but within the space enclosed by a chloroplast's inner membrane is a set of interconnected and stacked, fluid-filled membrane sacs called thylakoids ( Figure 2 ). (pressbooks.pub)
Proteins and lipids1
- Endocytosis serves the opposite function, removing proteins and lipids from the cell membrane and bringing them into the interior of the cell, decreasing the size of the cell membrane and the cell itself. (databasefootball.com)
Unlike3
- Plant cells (unlike animal cells) are surrounded by a thick, rigid cell wall. (enchantedlearning.com)
- Unlike the centrosomes in animal cells, plant cell centrosomes do not have centrioles. (enchantedlearning.com)
- Unlike MCCs (Note 1), GCCs take up cytosolic ATP via the nucleotide transporters (NTTs) on chloroplast membrane to energise starch synthesis in daytime. (sciencedaily.com)
Enzymes1
- Enzymes, which are additional light trapping pigments, are also present in the membranes. (aquariumplants.com)
Structural6
- A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of an organism and is often called the "building block of life. (visiblebody.com)
- Structural basis for VIPP1 oligomerization and maintenance of thylakoid membrane integrity. (mpg.de)
- Structural proteins enable our cells to maintain a constant shape and gives the cell support, much as the skeleton of an animal's body does. (databasefootball.com)
- In: Mus-Veteau I (ed) Membrane proteins production for structural analysis. (springer.com)
- Glucose is also converted to cellulose, which is used as a structural material in the building of cell walls. (aquariumplants.com)

Genomes1
- Predicted PPIs in the three plant genomes are made available for future reference. (nature.com)
Synthesis2
- The eukaryotic mitochondria (ATP synthesis) are endosymbionts like chloroplasts. (tripod.com)
- AA also controls plant development via regulation of phytohormone synthesis (Pastori et al. (deepdyve.com)
Biol2
- Cell Biol. (nature.com)
- Rev. Plant Biol. (nature.com)
Plastids1
- Thus, the mechanism generating metabolic connectivity of the chromatophore fundamentally differs from the one for mitochondria and plastids, but likely rather resembles the poorly understood mechanism in various bacterial endosymbionts in plants and insects. (frontiersin.org)
Cyanobacterium1
- The chloroplasts come via endosymbiosis by engulfment of a photosynthetic cyanobacterium by the eukaryotic, already mitochondriate cell. (wikipedia.org)
20003
- Forbes v. Napolitano (2000) was a US court case that established that Arizona researchers could use fetal tissues from induced abortions for basic scientific research, for instance, as a source of stem cells. (asu.edu)
- 2016). AA also takes part in the regeneration of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) in photosynthetic membranes and participates in chloroplast metabolism as a cofactor for violaxanthin de-epoxidase, an enzyme involved in xanthophyll cycle-mediated photoprotection (Smirnoff and Wheeler, 2000). (deepdyve.com)
- In some plant species, AA is the substrate for the biosynthesis of oxalate and tartrate (Smirnoff and Wheeler, 2000). (deepdyve.com)
Species6
- What adaptations have enabled plant species to survive Earth's changing environments? (slideserve.com)
- This is particularly true for plant species. (nature.com)
- Table 1 shows the statistics of experimentally identified PPIs in representative plant species taken from the BioGRID database 29 . (nature.com)
- Other representative plant species cover even less protein involved in known PPIs. (nature.com)
- Nine species (representing seven plant families) in several experimental facilities with different CO2-dosing technologies were examined. (columbia.edu)
- Plants for inclusion in the garden are chosen to demonstrate either plant evolution, species from regions with a Mediterranean climate, useful plants and local plants of Somerset and the South West. (soci.org)
Metabolism4
- Puzzled by this unexpected observation, we contacted an expert in guard cell metabolism, Dr Diana Santelia from ETH Zürich, for a collaboration," Dr Lim said. (sciencedaily.com)
- Over the past decade, the Santelia lab provided deep and important insights into starch and sugar metabolism in the guard cells (GCs) surrounding the stomatal pores on the leaf surface. (sciencedaily.com)
- These changes may reflect a major shift in plant metabolism and energy balance that may help to explain enhanced plant productivity in response to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations. (columbia.edu)
- Considering the socioeconomic relevance of corn culture and its sensitivity when exposed to water deficit, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the action of brassinosteroids and azospirillum on nitrogen metabolism in corn plants subjected to water stress conditions. (bvsalud.org)
