Plant Cell Flashcards
are eukaryotic cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. They are larger than animal cells.
Plant Cells
(true or false)
plant cells are rectangular or cube in shape.
True
is the outermost covering of the plant cell. It is the main feature of the plant cells.
Cell Wall
another name for cell membrane.
Plasma membrane
it is the outer lining of the cell inside the cell wall.
Cell membrane
is the gel-like matrix inside the cell membrane which constitues all other cell organelles.
Cytosol or cytoplasm
is the control center of the cell. It is a membrane bound structure which contains the hereditary material of the cell - the DNA.
Nucleus
is a plastid with green pigment chlorophyll. It traps light energy and converts it to chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
carry out cellular respiration and provide energy to the cells.
Mitochondria
are the temporary storage center of the cell.
Vacuoles
is the unit where the proteins are sorted and packed.
Golgi Body
are structures that assemble proteins
Ribosomes
is a membrane-covered organelle that transports cell materials.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
composed of amino acids and sugars. It provides structure and protection to the cell wall against bacteria.
Peptidoglycan
serves as the cell’s structural support against fungi.
Chitin
extension of the cell. A hair-forming cell on the epidermis of the plant root.
Root Hairs
found inside of the chloroplast. It is a colorless fluid surrounded by grana (light-dependent reactions take place here).
Stroma
flatten sacs inside a chloroplast bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, arranged in stacks or grana.
Thykaloid
green pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis.
