Differential uptake of carbon nanoparticles by plant cells is illustrated. Specifically, the left panel shows accumulation of hydrophilic C 60 (OH) 20 between a plant cell wall and a plasma membrane, while the right panel displays aggregation and retention of C 70 –NOM assembly in a plant cell wall.
