In plants, one or more vacuoles, surrounded by a single membrane called the tonoplast, may occupy up to 90% of the cell volume. By convention, vacuoles are considered to be separate from the cytoplasm. What are the 7 main organelles? Terms in this set (7) Cell Membrane. The thin, flexibleRead More →

The processes in and around mitotic division in eukaryotes are very interesting. The short answer is their organelles do not replicate when the cell does. … Many of the other organelles do divide at the same time as the cell divides (especially organelles that do not have their own DNA).Read More →

An organelle is a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell, much like an organ does in the body. Among the more important cell organelles are the nuclei, which store genetic information; mitochondria, which produce chemical energy; and ribosomes, which assemble proteins. WhatRead More →

Cell organelles like mitochondria, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast, nucleolus, etc. are not present in prokaryotic cells. Is not found in prokaryotes? Nuclear membrane is not found in prokaryotic cell. What organelles are in prokaryotes? The word “prokaryote” is derived from Greek words that mean “before nucleus.” Prokaryotic cells contain fewerRead More →

There are many different types of pigments in nature, but chlorophyll is unique in its ability to enable plants to absorb the energy they need to build tissues. Chlorophyll is located in a plant’s chloroplasts, which are tiny structures in a plant’s cells. This is where photosynthesis takes place. WhatRead More →
