M3: PLANT CELLS AND TISSUES Flashcards
are EUKARYOTIC CELLS or cells with a MEMBRANE-BOUND NUCLEUS.
PLANT CELLS
the DNA in a plant cell is housed within ____ that is enveloped by a membrane
NUCLEUS
_________ have a WIDE RANGE OF RESPONSIBILITIES that include everything from producing hormones and enzymes to providing energy for a plant cell.
ORGANELLES
tiny cellular structures
ORGANELLES
which is larger: plant cells or animal cells?
PLANT CELLS
structures that are only found in plant cell
cell wall, a large vacuole, and plastids
assist in STORING and HARVESTING needed substances for the plant
PLASTIDS (chloroplasts)
structures that are only found in animal cells
centrioles, lysosomes, and cilia and flagella
thin, SEMI-PERMEABLE membrane SURROUNDS THE CYTOPLASM of a cell, enclosing its contents.
CELL MEMBRANE / PLASMA MEMBRANE
RIGID OUTER COVERING of the cell PROTECTS the plant cell and GIVES IT SHAPE.
CELL WALL
the SITE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS in a plant cell. They contain CHLOROPHYLL, a green pigment that absorbs energy from sunlight.
CHLOROPLAST
a GREEN PIGMENT that absorbs energy from sunlight.
CHLOROPHYLL
The GEL-LIKE SUBSTANCE within the cell membrane is known as ______. It contains water, enzymes, salts, organelles, and various organic molecules.
CYTOPLASM
NETWORK OF FIBERS throughout the cytoplasm helps the cell MAINTAIN ITS SHAPE and gives support to the cell.
CYTOSKELETON
an extensive network of membranes
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
synthesizes proteins and lipids.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
ER with ribosomes
ROUGH ER
ER without ribosomes
SMOOTH ER
responsible for MANUFACTURING, storing and SHPPING (PACKAGING) certain cellular products including proteins.
GOLGI BODIES / GOLGI APPARATUS / GOLGI COMPLEX
These HOLLOW RODS function primarily to help support and shape the cell. They are important for CHROMOSOME MOVEMENT in mitosis and meiosis, as well as cytosol movement within a cell.
MICROTUBULES
GENERATE ENERGY for the cell by converting glucose (produced by photosynthesis) and oxygen to ATP. This process is known as respiration.
MITOCHONDRIA
structure within the nucleus helps in the SYNTHESIS OF RIBOSOMES
NUCLEOLUS
TINY HOLES within the nuclear membrane allow nucleic acids and proteins to move into and out of the nucleus.
NUCLEOPORE
tiny, single membrane bound structures that contain enzymes which PRODUCE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE as a by-product. These structures are involved in plant processes such as PHOTORESPIRATION.
PEROXISOMES
play an important role in both CATABOLIC AND ANABOLIC pathways in plants. _____ BREAK THE FATTY ACID into succinate in lipid rich seeds like castor bean.
GLYOXYSOMES
These PORES OR CHANNELS are found BETWEEN PLANT CELL WALLS and allow molecules and communication signals to pass between individual plant cells.
PLASMODESMATA
Consisting of RNA and proteins, ribosomes are responsible for PROTEIN ASSEMBLY. They can be found either attached to the rough ER or free in the cytoplasm.
RIBOSOMES
This plant cell organelle PROVIDES SUPPORT for and participates in a variety of cellular functions including storage, detoxification, protection, and growth. When a plant cell matures, it typically contains one large liquid-filled _____.
VACUOLE
occurs in various shapes and size. They are differentiated based on their composition and shape.
CRYSTALS
fine, NEEDLE LIKE crystals OCCURING SINGLY OR IN CLUSTER, scattered, or ENCLOSED IN A SAC as in gabi or other succulent plants
RAPHIDE
PRISM-LIKE or DIAMOND-LIKE crystals found in leaves of begonia or bangka bangkaan
PRISMATIC
FLOWERLIKE appearance in santan and stem of kutsarita plant
ROSETTE
KNIFE-LIKE, tapering at both ends
STYLOID
GRAPELIKE as seen in HYPODERMAL CELL of leaf of an Indian rubber tree or ampalaya like plant.
CYSTOLITH
Calcium oxalate (CaC2O4):
RAPHIDE
PRISMATIC
ROSETTE
STYLOID
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3):
CYSTOLITH
STACKS OF FLATTENED DISCS OR VESICLES that may be scattered throughout the cytoplasm
DICTYOSOMES
involved in the MODIFICATION OF CARBOHYDRATES attached to proteins that are synthesized and packaged in the endoplasmic reticulum
DICTYOSOMES
necessary to STORE STARCH and to CARRY OUT THE PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
PLASTIDS
HETEROGENOUS, COCLORED PLASTIDS which is responsible for PIGMENT SYNTHESIS and for storage in photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms
CHROMOPLASTS
red, orange, yellow-colored pigments which provide color to all ripe fruits and flowers
CHROMOPLASTS
the FLUID WITHIN THE CHLOROPLAST that comprises circular DNA
STROMA
CORKSCREW-LIKE RIBBONS SHAPE; cells of the green algae
SPIROGYRA
BRACELET-SHAPED chloroplasts: other green algae
