Study Notes

Cell Wall

Only found in plant cells, formed on the outside of the cell membrane
Consists of a network of cellulose fibers
Lends support and shape to the plant cell

Cytoplasm

Consists of the ground plasm and the cell membrane
Cell membrane is selectively permeable and controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell

Ground Plasm

Liquid contents of the cell, consisting of various solutions
Salts and gases are dissolved in the ground plasm
Organelles, oil droplets, and protein granules are found in the ground plasm
More liquid in the central part of the cell, making it easier for particles and organelles to float around
More jelly-like near the cell membrane
Site of chemical processes, including metabolism

Cell Organelles

Chloroplasts are found only in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis
Contain the green pigment chlorophyll, which traps radiant energy from the sun and converts it to chemical potential energy
During photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide are used to form glucose and oxygen is released
