While cells are the smallest unit of life, many organelles are independent with functions that help give the cell its characteristics. The different kinds of organelles are important parts of a cell, but they can't exist by themselves. Even if some of them were once self-sufficient cells, th...

Depending on the type, the primary function of muscle is to move the bones of the skeleton. However, muscles also enable the heart to beat and can be found in the walls of hollow organs, such as the intestines, uterus and stomach.In this article, we will explore the many functions of ...
Peroxiredoxins (PRXs) are a class of peroxidases present in all organisms with thiol-based catalytic activity with a variety of peroxide substrates. Cells usually contain several PRX isoenzymes specifically distributed in organelles. PRXs can be differentiated into two categories: 1-Cys and 2-Cys,...

Cell organelles like chromosomes, mitochondria that perform specific functions Also Read: Structure of Cell Cell Organelles Cell Theory Proposed by German scientists, Theodor Schwann, Matthias Schleiden, and Rudolf Virchow, the cell theory states that a cell is the basic unit of life and all organi...
These are chloroplasts of the leaves that are beginning to convert into different organelles or are being re-purposed since the leaf is no longer utilizing photosynthesis (such as in the fall months). Depending on their morphology and function, plastids have the ability to differentiate or rediff...
It can be used for observing living cells in their natural state without staining or fixing. Transparent specimens and subcellular organelles can be clearly viewed with better contrast. Due to the difference in thickness and refractive index of different parts of a specimen, a small phase shift in...
