vacuole
This membrane-bound organelle acts as the cell's storage and waste disposal system.
vacuole
This gelatinous, semi-fluid material fills the inside of a cell.
cytoplasm
This tiny, green "food factory" is found inside the cells of plants and algae.
chloroplast
This tough, rigid, yet flexible structural layer surrounds certain cell types and sits just outside the cell membrane.
cell wall
This thin layer surrounds a cell and controls exactly what goes in and out of it.
cell membrane
Name two of the three specific items that a vacuole holds for the cell
water, nutrients, and waste products (Any two)
According to the slide's "fun fact," the cytoplasm in plant cells acts as a suspension medium and carries out this transportation role.
highway
The main job of the chloroplast is to absorb this specific type of energy.
sunlight
This specific type of fiber makes up the plant cell wall and is stronger than steel pound for pound.
cellulose
The slide compares the cell membrane to this specific profession because of how it monitors entries and exits.
security guard
Aside from plants and animals, these are the other two types of organisms mentioned on the slide that contain vacuoles.
fungi and protists
The cytoplasm is physically enclosed and held inside the cell by this specific structure.
cell membrane
Chloroplasts turn sunlight into this specific substance to feed the plant.
sugar
Thanks to the cell wall, plants are sturdy enough to perform this basic physical feat.
standing tall
If all the cell membranes in your body were laid flat, they would cover an area much larger than this sports arena.
football field
This is the specific type of biological structure that defines a vacuole, keeping its contents separated from the rest of the cell.
membrane-bound organelle
The cytoplasm houses the cell's organelles, but it explicitly excludes this specific structure in eukaryotic cells.
nucleus
This is the name of the complete process where sunlight is turned into food for the plant.
photosynthesis
The unique structural arrangement of cellulose fibers is described by this specific hyphenated term.
cross-hatched
Cell membranes take up such a massive total surface area because your body is made up of this specific number of cells.
trillions
This organelle manages both the intake of useful materials like water and nutrients, and the containment of items meant for this final cellular system.
waste disposal system
The slide mentions these two vital metabolic processes that use the cytoplasm as their primary site.
protein synthesis and cellular respiration
Aside from plant cells, the slide notes that chloroplasts are also found inside the cells of this specific type of organism.
algae
The flexible arrangement of the cell wall specifically allows plants to withstand these two types of physical challenges.
mechanical stress and pressure
This is the primary function of the cell membrane when it is acting like a "security guard" for the cellular environment.
controlling what goes in and out of the cell
