Plant and animal cells have a lot of similar organelles and then some that are specific to each type of cell. Let’s explore cell organelles. Parts of the Animal Cell First, here is a diagram showing ...

Scientists in Japan have found a way to create solar-powered tissues, which may lead to breakthroughs in growing organs and ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria , which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

All living things have a blueprint provided by the DNA that is stored in every one of their cells. Yet the amount of DNA in ...
