Where do chemical reactions and energy conversions occur in a cell?
Cytoplasm
Match the following components with their descriptions:
Cell Wall = Provides support and shape to plant cells Cytoplasm = Consists of ground plasm and cell membrane Cell Membrane = Envelops the cell and controls substance passage Ground Plasm = Liquid contents of the cell where chemical processes occur
Match the following terms with their functions:
Cytoplasm = Location where metabolism occurs in a cell Cell Organelles = Responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells Chloroplasts = Contain chlorophyll for converting solar energy to chemical energy Metabolism = All chemical reactions and energy conversions in a cell
Match the following components with their specific roles:
Cell Wall = Formed outside the cell membrane in plant cells Cell Membrane = Selectively permeable and controls substance passage Chloroplasts = Contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis in plant cells Ground Plasm = Liquid contents of the cell with various dissolved substances
Match the following organelles with their characteristic features:
Chloroplasts = Only found in plant cells and responsible for photosynthesis Ground Plasm = Contains salts, gases, organelles, and facilitates chemical processes Cell Wall = Consists of a network of cellulose fibers for support and shape Cell Membrane = Envelops the cell and regulates substance movement
Match the following cellular components with their functions:
Cytoplasm = Includes ground plasm where many chemical reactions occur Cell Wall = Provides support to plant cells due to its structure of cellulose fibers Ground Plasm = Contains various solutions, organelles, and aids in metabolism Chloroplasts = Harbor chlorophyll to convert solar energy into chemical potential energy
Match the following terms with their roles within a cell:
Cell Membrane = Envelops the cell and controls substance passage into/out of it Ground Plasm = Central part is more liquid, bordering part is more jelly-like, supports organelles and chemical reactions Cytoplasm = Consists of the ground plasm where metabolism takes place along with various dissolved substances Chloroplasts = Exclusive to plant cells, contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis
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
