4.1-5

Question 1

The process that plants use to produce sugar (food) from water, CO2 and sunlight energy.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis

Question 2

These contain what protein pigments?

Answer 2

chlorophyll “chloro” means green and “phyll” means pigment

Question 3

Looks like a “green cookie rooms”. (Site of the light reaction of photosynthesis. This is where sunlight energy is converted into “batteries”. The “batteries” are ATP and NADPH. These “batteries” will be used to power the making of sugar in the Calvin Cycle.)

Answer 3

Thylakoid

Question 4

A stack of “green cookies” or thylakoids.

Answer 4

Grana

Question 5

This is mostly watery space in between the thylakoids and outer membrane (This is where the sugar is made.)

Answer 5

Stroma

Question 6

This structure helps support and protect the cell.

Answer 6

Cytoskeleton

Question 7

These are large, hollow tubes.

Answer 7

Microtubules (largest)

Question 8

These are the smallest structures in the cytoskeleton.

Answer 8

Microfilaments

Question 9

These are permanent, solid rods.

Answer 9

Intermediate Filaments (These are medium sized structures.)(“inter” means “between”)

Question 10

Plant cells create this structure for protection and durability. (Basically, weight bearing.)

Answer 10

Cell Wall (In plants)

Question 11

Found in all plant cells. It is not very strong by itself.

Answer 11

Primary Cell Wall (Cellulose Sugar)

Question 12

The Pectin acts as super glue between cells to hold them firmly together. This helps them grow tall.

Answer 12

Middle Lamella (Composed of Pectin Sugar.)

Question 13

The Lignin is found inside the primary cell wall allowing it to reinforce the primary wall. Thickest on the corners. This also helps them grow really tall.)

Answer 13

Secondary Cell Wall (Composed of Lignin sugar)

Question 14

These organelles are the site of photosynthesis in plants and algae.

Answer 14

Chloroplasts
