Animal cells have many small vacuoles within them while plant cells have one large one. The vacuole within a plant cell can ...

An animal cell is made of three main parts a nucleus, cell membrane and cytoplasm, which holds the rest of its critical components. And it's so small you could actually fit 100 animal cells across ...

Research has previously assumed that animals and plants developed different genetic programs for cell death. Now scientists have shown that parts of the genetic programs that determine programmed ...

Animal and plant cells can be visualised using a model. Find out how to make them with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow plants and algae to photosynthesize, are thought to have originated more than 1 billion years ago, when photosynthetic cyanobacteria lived symbiotically ...

Moving onto land confronted them with new challenges that led them to evolve new types of body parts. What’s more, these living phyla are very different from each other, with large empty map ...

The cells migrate around the embryo and contribute to the development of many tissues, including cartilage and bone in the face, smooth muscle, pigment cells, parts of the nervous system and the ...

The research team began by analyzing gene expression — which bits of DNA are converted into RNA used to make cell proteins — in more than 65,000 individual cells across four placozoan species.
