Plant Cell Flashcards
What is the primary function of chloroplasts in plant cells?
Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy.
True or False: Plant cells have a cell wall.
True
Fill in the blank: The rigid structure that provides support and protection to plant cells is called the ______.
cell wall
What organelle is involved in the synthesis of proteins in plant cells?
Ribosomes
Which pigment is primarily found in chloroplasts?
Chlorophyll
What is the function of the vacuole in a plant cell?
The vacuole stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is NOT a component of plant cells? A) Chloroplasts B) Mitochondria C) Lysosomes D) Cell Wall
C) Lysosomes
What is the main difference between plant cells and animal cells?
Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole, while animal cells do not.
True or False: Plant cells can perform cellular respiration.
True
Fill in the blank: The gel-like substance inside a plant cell is known as ______.
cytoplasm
What structure in plant cells is responsible for the synthesis of ATP?
Mitochondria
Multiple Choice: Which organelle is responsible for energy production in plant cells? A) Ribosomes B) Chloroplasts C) Mitochondria D) Golgi apparatus
C) Mitochondria
What are plasmodesmata?
Plasmodesmata are channels that allow communication and transport between adjacent plant cells.
True or False: Plant cells have a flexible shape.
False
Fill in the blank: The process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight is called ______.
photosynthesis
What is the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in plant cells?
The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the synthesis of proteins and lipids.
Multiple Choice: Which structure helps transport materials within a plant cell? A) Nucleus B) Golgi apparatus C) Cytoskeleton D) All of the above
D) All of the above
What is the function of the Golgi apparatus in plant cells?
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery.
True or False: All plant cells contain chloroplasts.
False
Fill in the blank: The ______ is considered the control center of the cell, containing genetic material.
nucleus
What is the function of the cell membrane in plant cells?
The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Multiple Choice: Which type of plant cell is specialized for photosynthesis? A) Parenchyma B) Sclerenchyma C) Collenchyma D) All of the above
A) Parenchyma
What is the role of the cytoskeleton in plant cells?
The cytoskeleton provides structural support and helps in cell division and transport.
True or False: Plant cells can store starch in the form of plastids.
True
