The cell is the basic unit of life in all organisms. Like humans and animals, plants are also composed of several cells
Plant Cell
are eukaryotic cells with a true nucleus along with specialized structures called organelles that carry out certain specific functions.
Plant Cell
It is a rigid layer which is composed of polysaccharides cellulose, pectin and hemicellulose. It is located outside the cell membrane
Cell Wall
The plant cell wall is also involved in protecting the cell against mechanical stress and providing form and structure to the cell. It also filters the molecules passing in and out of it.
Cell Wall
This round organelle is in the center of the cell. It controls all the activities of the plant cell.
DNA is house within the
Nucleus
It is the part that produces food in a plant cell.
Contain the enzyme necessary for photosynthesis plus the green pigment chlorophyll.
Contain small amount of DNA and few ribosomes
Chloroplast
help maintain water balance in plant cells.
The storage part of the cell.
- Contains a variety of
materials; water, dissolved salts, ions, pigments and waste product
It occupies 90% of the cell of mature plants
Vacuole
The cell’s collecting and packaging center
It is the part that helps process and
package proteins and lipid molecules in the plant cell.
It collects and processes materials that are to be exported from the cell (e.g.
polysaccharides that make up the cell wall)
Golgi Apparatus
It is the power house of the plant cell.
site of cellular respiration in which fuel molecules are broken down into carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy (Adenosine triphosphate - ATP) Contain few amounts of DNA and few ribosomes
Mitochondria
The manufacturing center of the cell
Two types of it are smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
extensive network of parallel membranes that extends throughout the cell’s interior
Endoplasmic Reticulum
The component of plant cell important for structure and cell. movement
CYTOSKELETON
2 fibers Microtubules and Microfilaments
Cytoskeleton
The physical boundary that regulates the flow of materials into and out of the cell
- is a selective barrier
Plasma Membrane
are sphere-shaped sacs filled with hydrolytic enzymes that have the capability to break down many types of biomolecules.
Lysosomes are an important cell organelle found within eukaryotic animal cells. Due to their peculiar function, they are also known as the “suicide bags of the cell
Lysosomes
These are live undifferentiated cells found in a variety of places of the plants’ bodies.
They participate in several mechanisms of the plan including photosynthesis, food storage, secretion of waste materials.
The experimental observation indicated that they appear green.
Parenchyma cells
Two Types of Parenchyma Cells
Palisade parenchyma -Ray parenchyma
