Epithelial tissues are layers of tightly connected cells and make up the basic structure of many organs. To create functional organs, tissues change their shape in three dimensions.

In this article, you’ll learn how eukaryotic cells operate, providing a solid foundation for understanding how life functions ...

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.

Animals display an extraordinary array of structural adaptations that are intimately linked to their functional capacities. From the microscopic organisation of tissues and cells to the ...
