The cell comprises many different cellular organelles bound by the cell membrane and cell wall. The cell organelles present in the cells, especially eukaryotic cells, are mostly membrane-bound....
Cells in eukaryotic organisms require constant interaction for proper functioning. Usually, animal cells release materials, like proteins abundant in collagen, into their extracellular space. The...
Peroxisome is the membrane-bound cell organelles of the eukaryotic cells. In 1954, J. Rhodin first described the peroxisome. Later in 1967, Christian de Duve identified it as the cell organelle....
Plant cells are immobile organisms and have many distinguishing structures than animal cells. The main difference is the absence of two membrane-bound components; plastids and...
Ribosomes are small, dense, rounded, and granular particles of the ribonucleoprotein. The word ribosome is derived from the Greek word “ribo” which means ribonucleic acid, and “soma” which...
