MODULE 2: PLANT CELLS AND TISSUES Flashcards
The study of the structure and the function of cells.
CYTOLOGY
Archae bacteria
PROKARYOTES
Plant, animals, protists, fungi
EUKARYOTES
Has Cell membrane, cytoplasm, Ribosomes, Genetic material, Membrane-bound organelles, Nucleus
EUKARYOTE
Has Cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosome, genetic material
PROKARYOTE
Selectively permeable which regulates the entrance and exit of substances in a cell.
CELL MEMBRANE
Outermost part of the plant cell.
CELL WALL
A non-living material made up of cellulose and other substance like lignin, suberin, and cutin.
CELL WALL
Surrounds/keeps organelles in place
CYTOPLASM
Facilitates the transport of materials within the cell.
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Help in the production and storage of proteins
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
TYPE OF ER
Mainly produce and export lipids and protein and function for detoxification. (without ribosomes)
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
TYPE OF ER
Produces, secrete and export proteins and few hormones. (with ribosomes)
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
Dense granules which synthesize protein.
RIBOSOMES
Composed of two subunits that are composed of RNA and proteins; the subunits, upon close inspection, can be differentiated by a line or cleft toward the center.
RIBOSOMES
“Powerhouse of the cell”
MITOCHONDRIA
Double layered organelle of the plant cell.
MITOCHONDRIA
Other name of Mitochondria
Chondrisomes
Inside folds in mitochondria ; site for cellular respiration.
CRISTAE
“Post office of the cell”
GOLGI BODY
Composed of circular, flattened vesicles of cisternae aligned in stacks.
GOLGI BODY
“Packaging of proteins” areas, transport of substances to and from the cell.
GOLGI BODY
Other word for Golgi body
DICTYOSOMES
Rounded, oval, or irregularly shaped protoplasmic bodies
PLASTIDS
Three main types of Plastids:
- Chloroplast
- Leucoplast
- Chromoplast
Green plastids, Organelles of photosynthesis Contains photosynthetic pigments called chlorophylls.
CHLOROPLAST
It synthesize carbohydrates using the energy of sunlight
CHLOROPLAST
Photosynthetic pigments
CHLOROPHYLLS
Yellow, orange, or red in color due to the presence of carotenoid pigments, which they synthesize and accumulate.
CHROMOPLAST
Yellow, orange, or red in color
CAROTENOID PIGMENTS
Essentially colorless and include amyloplasts, which synthesize starches, elaioplasts, which synthesize oils, and proteinoplast/aleuroplasts, stores protein and found in seeds and nuts.
LEUCOPLAST
It synthesizes starches
AMYLOPLAST
It synthesizes oils
ELAIOPLASTS
It stores protein and found in seeds and nuts
PROTEINOPLAST/ALEUROPLAST
“Control center of the cell”
NUCLEUS
Serves to protect DNA information and is perforated with holes called nuclear pores.
NUCLEUS
Membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
NUCLEAR ENVELOPE
Similar to the cytoplasm of a cell, also known as karyoplasm
NUCLEOPLASM
Contains chromosomes and nucleolus
NUCLEOPLASM
Contains the “genes” that determines the hereditary characteristics of the cell.
CHROMOSOMES
