Plant Cell
I am an organelle that is responsible for taking energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create sugar a source of food for a plant.
Chloroplast
What is the definition of an organelle?
Tiny cell structures that carry out the functions of the cell.
What is the cell wall?
Rigid layer of cellulose or nonliving material / protects and supports the cell in plants. This structure is not found in animal cells.
What is the function of the chloroplast?
To take energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create food for the plant in the form of sugar.
This organelle stores waste and food and does not always exist in an animal cell.
Vacuole - Stores waste and other substances inside the animal cell.
This part of the plant cells helps keep the plant erect and able to stand tall.
Cell wall is a rigid structure that enables plants to grow erect.
What are the organelles that are unique to plant cells?
Large permanent storage vacuole, chloroplast, and cell wall.
What is the cell membrane?
Layer of living material, it controls what goes into the cell and comes out of the cell. Found in both plant and animal cells.
What is the function of a cell membrane?
To hold the organelles in a neat fashion in the cytoplasm. To allow substances to pass into the cell and out of the cell. Nutrients in and waste out. Help the cell maintain moisture.
True or False Animal cells are never found in plants.
True
True or False The plant cell has a cell wall over top of a cell membrane.
True - Plant cells have both cell walls and cell membranes.
What process does the chloroplast carry out inside a plant cell?
Photosynthesis is the process.
What is the function of mitochondria?
To convert energy from food molecules into energy that the cell can use to carry out its functions. Creates glucose which is the form of sugar needed to use for energy.
What is the function of cytoplasm?
To allow the cell's organelles to move freely around the inside of the cell. Holds the shape of the cell and keeps the cell moist and free from completely drying out.
What is the function of a vacuole in an animal cell. Sometimes they are not present in an animal cell!!
Acts as storage for waste and other substances.
What color are chloroplasts (usually)?
Green sometimes other colors but most often they are green.
Nucleolus is found inside this organelle.
Nucleus
The Endoplasmic Reticulum carries these substances around the inside of the cell.
Proteins
Why do Lysosomes do for the cell?
Lysosomes are very small organelles that breakdown materials inside the cell. They perform maintenance duties by keeping the inside of the cell clean. They keep the cell clean by removing waste from inside the cell.
True or False Animal cells have chloroplasts.
False - Only plant cells have chlorplasts.
Do plant cells also have mitochondria since they already have chloroplasts.
Yes, plant cells have mitochondria.
True - Ribosomes make proteins.
Gogli Bodies are storage and packaging areas for - - - - - - -?
Proteins
What is the function of the nuclear envelope?
Controls substances coming into and out of the nucleus.
What is the function of cytoplasm in an animal cell?
Holds the organelles and allows them to move freely around the inside of the cell.
