    Study Notes

    Plant Cell - Vacuole

    • Occupies about 30% of mature cell volume
    • Surrounded by a single-layered membrane (tonoplast)
    • Stores cell sap (mixture of salts, enzymes, etc.)
    • Maintains turgor pressure against the cell wall

    Plant Cell - Plastids

    • Young cells have undifferentiated plastids (proplastids)
    • Mature cells develop into specialized plastids based on pigment
    • Chloroplasts: Sites of photosynthesis
    • Leucoplastids: Colorless plastids, store oils, proteins
    • Chromoplasts: Colored plastids (red, orange, yellow)

    Plant Cell - Mitochondria & Chloroplasts

    • Energy-converting organelles: Mitochondria and chloroplasts convert energy
    • Mitochondria: Found in most eukaryotic cells, site of aerobic respiration, process that converts food energy to ATP
    • Chloroplasts: Found in some plant and algal cells, site of photosynthesis, convert light energy to sugar.
    • Both organelles have their own DNA and ribosomes.

    Plant Cell - Mitochondria Structure

    • Outer membrane: Smooth, allows small molecules to pass through
    • Inner membrane: Folded into cristae, increasing surface area
    • Matrix: Compartment enclosed by inner membrane, contains enzymes for food breakdown
    • Ribosomes within mitochondria are similar to prokaryotic ribosomes
