Moving Exam Flashcards
- provides strength and support to the plant cell
- made up of cellulose and lignin
cell wall
- stores wastes and water
- helps to support the cell
vacuole
plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process
chloroplasts
- protective layer that surrounds every cell
- found just inside the cells wall
- made up of lipids and proteins
cell membrane
thick-water based solution where organelles are found
cytoplasm
- control center of the cell
- contains DNA
nucleus
separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm
nuclear membrane
- little round structures that produce proteins
- floating around in the cytoplasm or attached to the ER
ribosomes
helps move proteins within the cell as well as export them out of the cell
endoplasmic reticulum
- stack of membrane-covered sacs
- prepares proteins so they can be sent out of the cell
golgi body
- powerhouse of the cell
- convert energy stored in food into energy-rich ATP molecules
mitochondria
- digestive center of a cell
- has enzymes able to break down food particles or recycle worn out components of the cell
lysosome
Meristematic tissue
- Apical meristem
- Lateral meristem
- Intercalary meristem
- existent at the growing tips or apical of stems and roots
- upsurges the length of the plant.
Apical meristem
- existent in the radial portion of the stem or root
- upsurges the thickness of the plant
Lateral meristem
- found at the internodes or at the base of the leaves
- upsurges the size of the internode
Intercalary meristem
Two types of permanent tissues
- Simple permanent tissues
- Complex permanent tissues
Simple permanent tissues
- sclerenchyma
- collenchyma
- parenchyma
Complex permanent tissues
- phloem
- xylem
valuable for the transportation of water and solvable constituents
Xylem
How do xylem transport water and minerals
through
- vessel elements
- tracheids
valuable in the transportation of food particles
Phloem
Phloem
- companion cells
- sieve cells
- sieve tubes
- Parenchyma with chloroplasts
- helps in photosynthesis
chlorenchyma
