Plant cells
what is shown in the intricate detail and complexity of microscopic organisms.
Intelligent design

What bodies that break down food molecules to form RNA
ribosomes
Tiny chambers were first observed and described from microscope observations by a man named
Robert Hooke
A part of the plant cell that may contain crystal or poisons harmful to living protoplasm is
vacuole
Potato tuber cells have leucoplasts which help
store starch
The orange color of carrot roots and of marigold flowers comes from cell bodies known as
chromoplasts
What three parts of plant cells cause them to differ from animal and human cells?
cell walls
large vacuoles
chloroplasts
What are two ways plant cells are like animal and human cells?
Organelles and reproduction
The area of the plant cell that contains everything inside the cell including the cell membrane, but does not include the cell wall is called the
protoplast.
