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
