These are mitochondria of several distantly related unicellular eukaryotes (protists) that lack an electron transport chain altogether. They synthesize ATP from pyruvate breakdown via simple ...

Over hundreds of millions of years, LECA gave rise to the complex organisms that exist today, including fungi, protists, plants, and animals. In the three-domain model, eukaryotes belong to a separate ...

Within the Eukaryote domain, living things are further categorized into four kingdoms: animals, plants, fungi, and protists. The research on Prototaxites shows it doesn’t fit into the current ...

Plastids are core components of photosynthesis in plants and algae. Scientists are currently debating the events leading to the appearance of plastids in eukaryotic cells. Where did plastids ...

My research examines the origin and evolutionary history of eukaryotic cells. I work with 'protists', that is, all those eukaryotes that are NOT animals, plants or fungi. Most protists are ...
