Plant Cell
*Robert Farrell's Plant Cell Definitions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Middle Lamella | Intercellular Cement: Holds plant cells together - Royal Blue |
| Primary Cell Wall | Gives shape and protects cell - Light Green |
| Intercellular Space | Open Space on cell wall |
| Secondary Cell Wall | Gives shape and protects cell - Red |
| Tertiary Cell Wall | Gives shape and protects cell - Medium Green |
| Chloroplast | Organelles: Manufacture of food - Forrest Green |
| Golgi Bodies | Packaging plants for secretion. Golgi Vesicles filled with materials for secretion break away and move materials out - Pink |
| Plasmodesmata | Holes inside cell walls: Intercellular connections |
| Central Vacuole | Regulates diffusion of materials in and out of cell: storage area - Clear with gray lining |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER). | (Ribosomes): transport of materials and aid in protein synthesis - turquoise with white dots |
| Cell Sap | Inside the vacuole: regulates diffusion - clear |
| Internuclear Membrane | Regulates movement of material in and out of nucleus - white |
| Nucleolus | Translucent ball in center of nucleus: production of RNA and Ribosomes - Orange |
| Outer Nuclear Membrane | Regulates movement of materials in and out of nucleus - turquoise |
| Nucleus | Control Center of the cell: contains genetic material (chromatin, chromosomes, and DNA) |
| Chromosome | Coiled wires in center of nucleus: contains genes and DNA - blue & white |
| Annulus | Holes in nuclear membranes: transports materials in and out of nucleus |
| Ribosome | Small white dots on RER: protein synthesis |
| Cell Wall | Opaque gray: Non-living: Found only in plant cells: Gives shape and protects cells |
| Mitochondria | Orange with brown, squiggly centers: Powerhouse of the cell: manufacture of ATP (Energy currency of the cell) and aerobic cellular respiration |
| Cytoplasm | Translucent material inside cell membrane: Support and nurish organelles |
| Granum | Stack of green coins inside the chloroplasts: manufacture of food |
| Stroma | White material around granum: surrounds, supports, and nurishes granum. |
| Chloroplast Wall | Defines and Protects chloroplasts - Forrest Green |
| Vacuolar Membrane | Regulates movement of materials in and out of the vacuoles - gray |
| Plasma Membrane | Cell membrane: yellow: Regulates flow of materials in and out of the cell |
| Polysomes | Concentrated areas of Ribosomes: Not fond of the ER. (not on diagram - white) |
