University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening ...

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 ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities ... Nucleus - this contains the genetic material (DNA) of the organism and controls the cell’s activities. Cytoplasm - the liquid ...

2. Describe the components of plant cells and their functions. Most animal cells possess a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA ...
