Major Organelles
What is the nucleus?
This Organelle controls most of the cells activity and contains the cells DNA
What is the cell wall?
is a strong rigid layer that provides structure to plant cells.
What are chloroplasts apart of?
Photosynthesis
What is the protection layer of a cell structure?
The cell wall
What are living organisms?
Cells are the basic building blocks of this type of organism
What is the mitochondrion?
It is the powerhouse of the cell and produces the energy.
What is the chloroplasts?
Is a green organelle that helps capture sunlight to make energy.
What is smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
This organelle detoxifies harmful substances
What is the cytoplasm?
This jelly-like substance fills the cell and holds organelles in place
How do plants breathe and obtain oxygen?
The photosynthesis process
What is endoplasmic reticulum?
This membrane is responsible for producing proteins and lipids.
What is the central vacuole?
Is a large and central part of the cell structure, and this stores nutrients, water, and waste.
What are lysosomes?
This organelle is responsible for breaking down waste and recycling cell components
what part of the cell structure is involved in transportation and storage of substances?
The endoplasmic reticulum
What is cellular respiration?
The energy produced by plant cells through photosynthesis helps fuel this process in all other living organisms.
What are ribosomes?
small organelles are the site of protein synthesis.
What is turgor pressure?
What is the cell membrane?
The outer boundary of the plant cell that regulates what enters and leaves
which vacuole does plant cells have that animal cells don't?
The central vacuole
What are tissues?
Plant cells work together to form this larger structure that makes up organs such as leaves, stems, and roots.
What is the Golgi Apparatus?
This organelle takes proteins and sends them to where they need to be.
What are plasmodesmata?
Little openings in the cell wall and allows for communication between plant cells.
What is photosynthesis process?
It is when chloroplasts uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
What are stomata?
The tiny pores in the plant cell membrane that allow for gas exchange
What is mitosis?
The process where plant cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells.
