The Plant Cell Flashcards
organisms made up of large and complex cells
eukaryotes
smaller and have simple cells
prokaryotes
what makes a plant cell unique?
plant cells have cell wall
plant cells contain one large vacuole
plant cell contain chloroplast
types of plant cell
parenchyma cells
collenchyma cells
sclerenchyma cells
play a significant role in all plants, living cells of plants which are involved in the production of leaves
parenchyma cells
involved in the exchange of gases, production of food, storage of organic products and cell metabolism
parenchyma cells
more flexible than other plant cells because they are thinner
parenchyma cells
hard or rigid cells, playing a primary role in providing support to the plants
collenchyma cells
more rigid compared to collenchyma cells due to the presence of hardening agents
sclerenchyma cells
does not have a hardening agent in primary walls
collenchyma cells
found in plant roots and mainly involved in providing support to the sides
sclerenchyma cells
stain red in prepared slides
collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells
example of sclerenchyma cells
fiber (i.e. mature xylem)
transport cells in vascular plants, transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and other parts of the plant
xylem cells
transport cells in vascular plants, transporting food prepared by the leaves to different parts of the plants
phloem cells
difference of xylem and phloem
xylem - absent cross walls, phloem - elongated with the presence of walls within thin sieve tubes
xylem - smaller, phloem - larger
xylem - roots, stem, leaves , phloem - stems, leaves
xylem - unidirectional (upwards), phloem - bidirectional
xylem - tissues are more , phloem - tissues are less
xylem - replaces the total amount of lost water molecules, phloem - transporting proteins and mRNAs throughout the plant
