Study Notes
Plant Cell Structure and Function
- A protoplast refers to the living contents of a plant cell, excluding the cell wall.
Cytoplasm Composition
- Cytoplasm is primarily composed of water, salts, sugars, and various organelles.
Plasma Membrane Function
- The plasma membrane, also known as the cell membrane, regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell.
Cell Sap Storage
- Vacuoles are responsible for storing watery fluid called cell sap, as well as waste products and recycling cellular materials.
Chloroplast Function
- Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy.
Colored Plastids
- Chromoplasts are colored plastids that contain pigments responsible for the red, orange, and yellow colors in flowers and fruits.
Mitochondrial Function
- Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration, generating energy for the cell through the breakdown of glucose.
Largest Membrane-Bound Organelle
- The vacuole is the largest membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells, responsible for storage, recycling, and maintaining cellular turgor pressure.
