When I saw today’s theme I initially feared that it was going to be about boring legal words (and who’d want that), but my concerns were soon eased when the first Hint gave me ZOMBIE – which ...

Mitochondria are now known to not only generate energy but also produce essential cellular materials, adapting uniquely to stress, which sheds light on cancer survival tactics and aging processes.

In 2021 biologist Sachihiro Matsunaga of the University of Tokyo reported how sacoglossan sea slugs can “steal” chloroplasts from algae they eat, fueling the slugs’ energy needs for weeks.

Most of us remember two things from high school biology: that mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and that we inherit stable sets of chromosomes from our two parents. Both truisms are only ...

It appears that chloroplasts even siphon off some of the ATP generated by mitochondria, Mehta said. While the new findings do not definitively prove that this is how chloroplasts evolved ...
