Plant Cell Ultra Structure Flashcards
What is the function of:
Vacuole
allows the cell to remain turgid.
What is the function of:
The cell wall
It supports/protects the cell
What is the function of:
tonoplast
it has a partially permeable membrane, allowing selected molecules to pass through.
What is the function of:
amyloplast
stores and transports starch granules.
What is the function of:
Chloroplast
carries out photosynthesis.
What is the structure of:
The Vacuole
it is a membrane-bound sac in the cytoplasm.
What is the structure of:
The Cell wall
plasmodesmata - channels that cross from cell wall to cell wall, allows transport/communication.
It has pits/pores water movement through the xylem
Made of cellulose.
What is the structure of:
Amyloplasts
it has a double membrane.
What is the structure of:
Tonoplasts
It is the membrane of the vacuole.
What is the structure of the:
Golgi Appartus
It is a stack of membrane bound flattened sacs.
What is the function of:
The Golgi Appartus
New proteins are modified and packaged into vesicles.
What is the function of:
The nucleus
It regulates the cells metabolic activity and stores the genetic material.
What is the structure of:
The nucleus
It is surround by a nuclear envelope, which has pores to allow movement through it. It also contains a nucleolus, which has no membrane, RNA and ribosomes are produced and able to leave through the pores.
