Plant Cells Flashcards
1
Q
Chloroplast- structure
A
- double membrane
2
Q
Chloroplast- function
A
- contains ribosomes needed for photosynthesis
- chlorophyll absorbs light molecules
- sight of photosynthesis
3
Q
Large permanent Vacuole -structure
A
- single membrane (tonoplast)
- (tonoplast) –> partial permeable single membrane
- contains cell sap
4
Q
Large permanent Vacuole- function
A
- makes plant rigid
- controls osmosis in cell
- pushes chloroplasts to edge of cell for more light
5
Q
Amyloplast- structure
A
-double membrane bound sack
6
Q
Amyloplast- function
A
- synthesis and storage of starch granules
7
Q
Plasmodesmata - structure
A
- microscopic channels through the cell wall
8
Q
Plasmodesmata - function
A
- transverse the cell wall - move through
- enables transport and communication between plant cells
9
Q
Pits - structure
A
- pores in xylem walls
10
Q
