Primary wall

40
Q

When it is formed, expansion in cell size can no longer be expected.

A

Secondary wall

41
Q

It helps provide strength and rigidity to the plant cell

A

Primary and secondary walls

42
Q

It stores enzymes and waste products.

A

Water Vacuoles

Q

Waste materials inside the vacoules could be in the form of ________.

A

Poisonous substances

44
Q

They carry out the photosynthetic function in plants.

A

Plastids

45
Q

Contains the green pigment, chlorophyll which is designed to absorb sunlight in the initial step of photosynthesis.

A

Chloroplasts

46
Q

It synthesizes and store pigments such as yellow, carotene, xanthophylls, and various red pigments.

A

Chromoplasts

47
Q

It stores food such as starches, lipids, and proteins.

A

Leucoplast

48
Q

Are small channels that connect the cytoplasm of plant cells to each other forming a living bridge between cells.

A

Plasmodesmata
