Plant Cell Parts
What Protects the plant cell and gives it shape
Cell wall
The basic unit of all living things
The cell
Organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles.
Prokaryotes
The process when light energy is used glucose from Carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen
Photosynthesis
Gasses that help keep the earth warm
Greenhouse gases
What part of the plant cell absorbs the sun's energy and makes food for the cell
Chloroplasts
The part of the cell that makes the leaf green and absorbs sunlight
chloroplasts
Microscopes that can magnify up to a million times
Electron microscope
Process in which oxygen is used and carbon dioxide is given off
Cellular respiration
One of the important "greenhouse gases" that the human body and animals contribute to the earth by respiration
carbon dioxide
What part of the plant cell stores water, nutrients, wastes and other substances
Vacuole
What part of a plant cell that gives it rigidity and shape that a human cell does not have
Cell wall
Process by which particles move from high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion
Two processes that help maintain oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
photosynthesis and cellular respiration
The sugar that is stored in plants during photosynthesis
glucose
The part of the plant cell that contains genetic material that directs the activities of the cell.
Nucleus
What is the function of ribosomes
Produce proteins
Type of cell that has a nucleus (prokaryote cell or eukaryotic cell)
eukaryotic cell
Plants store their energy in _________ and _____________
Sugars and carbohydrates
How do plants get water
water in the soil through the roots
It protects cell and allows certain substances to move into and out of the cell
Cell membrane
When a plant uses up its water, the part of the plant cell that shrinks
Vacuole
Structure in a plant cell that produces the energy
Mitochondrion
Animals breath in oxygen and release
____________ ____________ while plants take in
carbon dioxide and release _________________
Carbon dioxide, oxygen
The top layer of cells on a leaf
Palisade cells
