Horticulture Plant Cells
Cell Wall ONLY IN PLANT CELLS Protection and support Rigid and stiff: Made of Cellulose Permeable (allows substances to pass through)
Cell Membrane Protect and support Controls materials in and out 8 millionths of a mm thick (it would take 12,500 of them stacked to = the thickness of a piece of paper!!!!!!!)
Nucleus Control Center: regulates activities –Nuclear Membrane: controls materials in and out –Chromosomes: thin, rod-shaped, carry on traits –Nucleolus: makes ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum -Carries proteins through the cell -System of passageways
Ribosomes “Protein Factory” Carried by the ER through the cell Synthesize proteins
Ribosomes Synthesize protein Carried by the “ER”
Mitochondria Supplies Energy to the cell by breaking down sugars
Cytoplasm Organelles exist in “jelly-like” substance
Vacuole Stores food, water, waste Can be up to 90% of size of cell Rigidity/turgor pressure helps plant stem remain upright
Lysosomes Digest food using enzymes Rare in plant cells---why??? Digest old cell parts
Chloroplast GREEN Trap sunlight, convert to chemical energy Contain Chlorophyll Process: Photosynthesis
Organelles Found Only in Plants: 1.Cell Wall 2.Chloroplast
Journal # 3 “Cell Drawings” 2/24/14 Observe and Draw: 1.General Plant Cell 2.Cell with chloroplasts 3.Onion skin with Iodine stain SHOW ME!!!!! Use Petri dishes as field of view!!!! Neat, lableled and colored!!!
*Fill Circle with Field of View *COLORS!!! 2. Chloroplasts 100x
Journal # 3 Plant Cells 1.Prepare a stained onion skin slide and sketch. 2.Prepare elodea “A” and sketch 3.Prepare elodea “B” and sketch 4.Sketch and Label a general Plant Cell. 5.Sketch and label a cell with chloroplasts. (4 and 5 are prepared slides)
