Plant Cell 10/19/09

1. A process in which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food energy (sugars and starches), oxygen and water. Chlorophyll or closely-related pigments (substances that color the plant) are essential to this process.

Granum

Photosynthesis

Cytoplasm

2. the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell, but is inside the cell wall. It is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.

Chloroplast

Cytoplasm

Cell membrane

3. A thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell. This layer of cellulose fiber gives the cell most of its support and structure. It also bonds with other to form the structure of the plant.

Golgi body

Nucleus

Cell wall

4. A large, membrane-bound space within a plant cell that is filled with fluid. Most plant cells have a single one that takes up much of the cell. It helps maintain the shape of the cell.

Vacuole

Ribosome

Mitochondrion

5. The jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located.

Chloroplast

Cytoplasm

Centrosome

6. An elongated or disc-shaped organelle containing chlorophyll. Photosynthesis (in which energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy - food) takes place there.

Chlorophyll

Photosynthesis

7. A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted sacks that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). It is covered with ribosomes that give it a rough appearance. It transport materials through the cell and produces proteins in sacks called cisternae (which are sent to the Golgi body, or inserted into the cell membrane).

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Golgi body

8. The membrane that surrounds the nucleus.

Cytoplasm

Cell membrane

Nuclear membrane

9. It is a molecule that can use light energy from sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide gas into sugar and oxygen (this process is called photosynthesis). It is magnesium based and is usually green.

Ribosome

Photosynthesis

Chlorophyll

10. Spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus. It controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes). It is surrounded by the nuclear membrane

Nucleus

Nucleolus

Nuclear membrane

11. Spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane. The inner membrane is infolded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae). It converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Mitochondrion

Cell wall

12. Small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.

Ribosome

Centrosome

Cytoplasm

13. An organelle within the nucleus - it is where ribosomal RNA is produced.

Golgi body

Nuclear membrane

Nucleolus

14. Also called the "microtubule organizing center") a small body located near the nucleus - it has a dense center and radiating tubules. It is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), It divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. Unlike the centrosomes in animal cells, plant cell centrosomes do not have centrioles.

Mitochondrion

Centrosome

Chloroplast

15. A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted tubes that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). The space within the ER is called the ER lumen. It transport materials through the cell. It contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins; It buds off from rough ER, moving the newly-made proteins and lipids to the Golgi body and membranes

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Rough endoplasmic reticulum

Nucleus

16. An organelle is within It - it is where ribosomal RNA is produced.

Nucleolus

17. An organelle in some plant cells that stores starch. They are found in starchy plants like tubers and fruits.

Cytoplasm

Amyloplast

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

18. A flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for "export" from the cell.
