The study is published in the journal Nature. The first life forms to appear on Earth were unicellular, i.e., composed of a ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ranging from movement to sensing environmental signals. Researchers from ...

A single bacterium consists of just one cell. Not all bacteria are harmful. There are different unicellular organisms and types of bacteria. Yeast are unicellular fungi. They are used by brewers ...

Unicellular organisms, such as microalgae, also age when they can no longer divide due to a lack of nutrients. The newly discovered mechanism enables old cells to rejuvenate and divide again after ...

The mRNA then exits the nucleus, and translation occurs in the cell’s cytoplasm. Prokaryotes can be split into two domains, bacteria and archaea, and are unicellular organisms that lack membrane-bound ...

Others, such as choanoflagellates, which are animals’ closest living unicellular relatives, envelop and digest still smaller cells. Ocean ecosystems depend on these predators and browsers to ...
