Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

The researchers focused on a plastid-specific energy-transport molecule and found evidence suggesting that early chloroplasts ...

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within chloroplasts, shedding light on a key event in the evolution of plant life.

This proposed origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts is known as the endosymbiotic ... and oxidative metabolism yields more energy per food molecule than non-oxygen-using, or anaerobic, methods.

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...
