Study Notes
Plant Cell Diagram
- Golgi Body: Receives materials from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), packages them, and sends them to other parts of the cell.
- Chloroplasts: Capture energy from sunlight and store it in molecules.
- Lysosome: Contains chemicals that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts.
- Cytoskeleton: Gives the cell its shape and provides strength.
- Cell Membrane: Separates the inside from the outside environment; lets some materials pass in and out.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of passageways that carries materials from one part of the cell to another.
- Nucleus: Controls cell activities and contains the hereditary material (DNA).
- Ribosomes: The protein factories of the cell.
- Mitochondria: Produce most of the cell's energy.
- Cell Wall: Surrounds the cell membrane, providing rigid structure.
- Central Vacuole: Stores water, food, and wastes; also provides support when full.
