Study Notes
Plant Cell Structure
-
Golgi body: Receives materials from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), packages them, and sends them to other parts of the cell.
-
Chloroplasts: Capture energy from sunlight and store it in molecules.
-
Lysosome: Contains chemicals that break down food particles and worn-out cell parts.
-
Cytoskeleton: Gives the cell its shape and provides strength.
-
Cell membrane: Separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment. Lets some materials pass in and out of the cell.
Organelles and their Function
-
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): A network of passageways that carries materials from one part of the cell to another.
-
Nucleus: Controls the activities of the cell and contains the hereditary material (DNA).
-
Ribosomes: The protein factories of the cell.
-
Mitochondria: Produces most of the cell's energy.
-
Cell wall: Surrounds the cell membrane and provides rigid structure.
-
Central Vacuole: Stores water, food, and wastes. Also provides support for the cell when full.
