Rigid layer that provides protection for plant cells.
Cell Wall
Found only in PLANT cells. Its purpose is photosynthesis.
Chloroplast.
Complex organelles that convert energy from food into a form that the cell can use.
Mitochondria
This is the recycling center of the cell. They digest foreign bacteria that invade the cell, rid the cell of toxic substances, and recycle worn-out cell components.
Lysosomes
Fluid that fills up the space inside the cell.
Cytoplasm
Protective phospholipid layer ALL cells have
Cell Membrane
This type of cell has a cell wall, a large central vacuole and chloroplasts
plant cell
How does the shape of the plant cell differ from an animal cell?
Plant cells have a more rigid rectangular shape.
Makes Protein; ALL cells have these
Ribosome
Serves as the cell’s command center, sending directions to the cell to grow, mature, divide, or die. It also houses DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the cell’s hereditary material.
Nucleus
Stores food, water, and waste; extra large in plant cells
Vacuole
Tail like structure that functions in movement.
Cilia or Flagella
Packages molecules processed by the endoplasmic reticulum to be transported out of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus
A tool used to view cells.
Microscope
He invented the first compound microscope. What is his first and last name?
Robert Hooke
a web of proteins that gives shape and support to the cell
Microtubules or Cytoskeleton
Does not have ribosomes on it; Makes and stores lipids and transports them
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
What structures are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells?
cell wall and chloroplasts
These are tightly coiled pieces of DNA found in the nucleoplasm of the cell.
Chromosomes
This green pigment that absorbs solar energy. You can find it in the chloroplasts.
Chlorophyll
