Plant Cell Structures
I am the rigid outer layer of a plant cell. I provide support and protection.
Cell Wall
I am the process that increases the number of cells in a plant.
Cell Division
I am a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function.
Tissue
I am green and contain structures that capture light energy. You can find lots of me in leaves
Chloroplast
I am the part of the cell that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
Cell Membrane
I am the process in which a cell increases in size.
Cell Elongation
Acts as the skin for the plant.
Cuticle & Epidermis
Dermal Tissue
A jelly-like material that fills the cell and holds the organelles in place.
Cytoplasm
I contain the genetic information of the cell and help control cell activities.
A cell starts out unspecialized but eventually becomes a cell with a specific function.
Cell Differentiation
Makes up majority of the plant. Fills the space between the outer skin and the inner transport tubes.
Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma
Ground Tissue
Convert sugars into energy through cellular respiration. They provide the energy the cell needs to carry out its functions.
Mitochondrion
I am the jelly-like material inside the cell where many chemical reactions take place.
Cytoplasm
Put these in a logical order for plant growth:
Cell differentiation – Cell division – Cell elongation
Cell division → cell elongation → cell differentiation
I transport water and minerals from the roots toward the leaves.
Molecule consisting of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group modified by an alcohol.
Phospolipids
I capture light energy so the plant can perform photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
A young plant cell becomes longer, causing the plant to increase in size.
Cell Elongation
I transport sugars produced by photosynthesis to other parts of the plant.
Phloem
I am found in areas where a plant is actively growing. My cells divide to produce new cells. What am I?
Meristematic Tissue
