One of the most momentous events in the history of life involved endosymbiosis—a process by which one organism engulfed ...

Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.

Endosymbiosis, the process by which one organism engulfed another and integrated its DNA and functions into itself rather ...

Their calculations reveal that life on Earth has cycled all of the planet’s carbon roughly 100 times. But the researchers ...
