Study Notes
Plant Cell Components
-
Cell Wall
- Provides shape and structure to the cell.
-
Cell Membrane
- Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
-
Vacuole
- Serves as a storage tank for nutrients, waste products, and other materials.
-
Nucleus
- Acts as the control center of the cell, directing cellular activities.
-
Nucleolus
- A smaller structure within the nucleus responsible for producing ribosomes.
-
Nuclear Membrane
- Controls the entry and exit of materials in and out of the nucleus.
Energy and Photosynthesis
-
Chloroplasts
- Organelles where photosynthesis takes place, converting light energy into chemical energy.
-
Mitochondria
- Known as the powerhouse of the cell, they generate energy through cellular respiration.
Cytoplasmic Structures
-
Cytoplasm
- A jelly-like fluid that maintains organelles in place and facilitates movement within the cell.
-
Lysosome
- Contains enzymes for digestion; cleans up cellular debris and waste.
-
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- A network that transports proteins; can be rough (with ribosomes) or smooth (without ribosomes).
-
Ribosomes
- Create proteins by linking amino acids together based on genetic instructions.
-
Golgi Apparatus
- Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins received from the endoplasmic reticulum for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
