Cells Flashcards
An organelle in some plant cells that stores starch. Are found in starchy plants like tubers and fruits.
Amyloplast
(exists in Plant Cell only) a thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell. This layer of cellulose fiber gives the cell most of its support and structure. Also bonds with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant.
Cell wall
is the semi-permeable membrane that is present within th e cell wall. It is composed of a thin layer of protein and fat. It plays an important role in regulating the entry and exit of specific substances within the cell.
Cell membrane
small body located near the nucleus - it has a dense center and radiating tubules. It is where microtubules are made.
Centrosome
a molecule that can use light energy from sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide gas into sugar and oxygen (this process is called photosynthesis). It is usually color green.
