In pure water, the cell contents (the cytoplasm and vacuole) push against the cell wall and the cell becomes turgid . Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very ...

The slideshow shows an example of osmosis showing the direction of movement of water between two different concentrations of sugar solutions: Under normal circumstances, the cells in all organisms ...

Transport of molecules within a cell and out of the cell requires a complex endomembrane system. Endocytosis occurs when the cell membrane engulfs particles (dark blue) outside the cell ...

A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

Besides using molecular motors for long-distance transport, cells also need to move vesicles short distances within specific parts of the cell. But the exact mechanisms for this short-distance ...

HHMI researchers suggest that defective cell transport may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. Over the last few years, scientists have been successful in identifying genes implicated in Alzheimer’s ...

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients ... which is taken into the cells by molecules known as the boric acid channel.

Air transport is an important enabler to achieving economic growth and development. Air transport facilitates integration into the global economy and provides vital connectivity on a national, ...

According to many experts, we may soon find ourselves using fuel cells to generate electrical power for all sorts of objects we use every day. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a decent while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over two years since we heard anything official about the game.

Nov. 4, 2024 — Stem cells grown in microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have unique qualities that could one day help accelerate new biotherapies and heal complex disease ...
