Plant cells are also able to become longer as they grow. This process is called cell elongation and occurs throughout the plant, not just in the meristems. Cell elongation does not occur in animals.

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. The study used ...

Do similar mechanisms operate in plant and animal stem cells to maintain long-term division and pluripotency? In conclusion, at least some of the genes that control the stem cell state in animals ...

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...

The chemical energy released by respiration can be used by the plant for cellular activities such as protein synthesis or cell division. The sugar produced by photosynthesis can be converted into ...
