Chloroplasts, containing thylakoids, visible in the cells of Rosulabryum capillare, a type of moss. A chloroplast (/ ˈ k l ɔːr ə ˌ p l æ s t,-p l ɑː s t /) [1] [2] is a type of organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant and algal cells.
Phase-contrast microscopic image of Vero cells (under green light at 100-fold magnification). Vero cells are a lineage of cells used in cell cultures. [1] The 'Vero' lineage was isolated from kidney epithelial cells extracted from an African green monkey (Chlorocebus sp.; formerly called Cercopithecus aethiops, this group of monkeys has been split into several different species).
A. F. W. Schimper [6] [a] was the first to name, describe, and provide a clear definition of plastids, which possess a double-stranded DNA molecule that long has been thought of as circular in shape, like that of the circular chromosome of prokaryotic cells—but now, perhaps not; (see "..a linear shape").
The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life.Every cell consists of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane; many cells contain organelles, each with a specific function.
Cyclops bicuspidatus is a planktonic species of copepod found throughout the world, except Australia, [4] and characteristic of the Great Lakes of North America. [5] It is a deep water species found throughout the year with peak abundance occurring in May or June. [5]
Cell most often refers to: . Cell (biology), the functional basic unit of life Cellphone, a phone connected to a cellular network; Clandestine cell, a penetration-resistant form of a secret or outlawed organization
In cell biology, the centrosome (Latin centrum 'center' + Greek sōma 'body') (archaically cytocentre [1]) is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell, as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression. The centrosome provides structure for the cell.
Kenyon cells are produced from precursors known as neuroblasts.The number of neuroblasts varies greatly between species. In Drosophila melanogaster, Kenyon cells are produced from only four neuroblasts, while in the honey bee they are the product of thousands of neuroblasts.
