Cell Model: Plant Cell Flashcards
Have a rigid protective? Outside the cell membrane that works to maintain cell shape.
Cell wall
A fact:the cell wall is composed of polysaccharides including cellulose in higher plants
True
The term cytoplasm refers to the cytosol plus the organelles suspended in it
True
A fact: communication with the cytosol occurs via pores
True
Ribosomes move to the rough ER where they participate in protein synthesis
True
Ribosomes are made in the?
Nucleolus
Plant vacuoles can be quite large and play roles in ?
Storing nutrients&waste products.
Increasing cell size during growth.
Having lysosomal functions.
Preventing wilting through regulation of turgor pressure
? In plants are membrane bound packets of oxidative enzymes
Peroxisomes
Peroxisome functions include?
-converting fatty acids to sugar
-assisting chloroplast in photorespiration
? Are rare in plant cells but there are exceptions
Lysosomes
A fact: hydrolytic enzymes of plant cells are more often found in the large vacuole
True
On plant cells ? (microtubule organizing center-MTOC) is simpler than in animal cells and does not contain centrioles
Centrosome
The function of the centrosome is the production of microtubules
True
? Are found in higher plants
Chloroplast
These organelles contain the chlorophyll pigment that traps the light energy used in photosynthesis
Chloroplast
