Plant Cell
by Sagarika Laha
1. Smooth ER
1.1. tube has NO ribosomes on the membrane
2. Rough ER
2.1. tube has ribosomes on the membrane
2.1.1. an organelle that produces and transports materials and compounds (like lipids and proteins) throughout the cell.
2.1.2. Endoplasmic Reticulum
3. Cell Membrane
3.1. Thin outer covering that keeps the cell shape and acts like a boundary regulating what materials enter and exit the cell.
4. Cytoplasm
4.1. liquid gel-like substance found throughout the cell that which holds the cells shape and the organelles. Reactions can take place within this substance.
5. Chromosomes
5.1. organized form of DNA, which is the cells blueprint for making proteins
6. Ribosomes
6.1. This organelle is the site where protein is made. It can be found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough Endoplasmic Reticulum.
7. Nucleus
7.1. Only found in Eukaryotic Cells and houses the cell's genetic material - DNA.
8. Nucleolus
8.1. Found inside the nucleus, this organelle produces ribosomes.
9. Golgi Apparatus
9.1. modifies, processes, and packages cell products (like proteins) and puts them into vesicles to be transported within the cell or carried out of the cell.
10. Chloroplasts
10.1. an organelle that contains the pigment chlorophyll in green plants and is the site of photosynthesis.
11. Mitochondria
11.1. called the “powerhouse” of the cell because it releases energy from food through a process called cellular respiration.
12. Cell Wall
12.1. Thick outer covering outside the cell membrane providing extra support and protection
13. Cytoskeleton
13.1. a framework of tubules providing movement, structure and support for the organelles and cell
14. Vacuole
14.1. they carry and store a variety of materials such as food, water, and waste. In plant cells, there is one large central vacuole that takes up most of the inside
15. Red - Genetic Replication/Processing
16. Blue - Creation, Distribution, and Decomposition of Cellular Molecules
17. Green - Energy Processing
18. Orange - Cell Structure
