Chapter 3 plants
lesson 1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chlorophyll | Green pigment found in plant, algae, and sometimes bacteria chloroplasts |
| photosynthesis | a plant that uses carbon dioxide gas and water to make oxygen |
| tissue | cells that preform similar functions in an organism |
| chloroplast | green jelly beans that make food |
| vacuole | a large storage sac that can expand and shrink |
| Cuticle | The outermost layer of the skin of vertebrates; epidermis. |
| vascular tissue | a system tubelike structures in side a plant through witch water, minerals and food move. |
| organelle | A differentiated structure within a cell, such as a mitochondrion, vacuole, or chloroplast, that performs a specific function. |
| chromatin | A complex of nucleic acids and proteins, primarily histones, in the cell nucleus that stains readily with basic dyes and condenses form chromosomes during cell division. |
| mitochondrion | An organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy |
| endoplasmic reticulum | A network of a membranes and eukaryotic cells that synthesizes and transports lipids and proteins. |
| lysosomes | An organelle in the eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane. |
| Golgi body | A cell organelle also known as the Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex, that acts as the cell's "post office" for processing and packaging proteins and lipids. |
| What are the three main characteristics of plant share | They are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are made of cellulous, they have specialized structures for photosynthesis "like leaves", and they undergo a life cycle that includes both hoploid and diploid stages like alternatives of generations. |
| The 2 things that a plant needs and the 2 things it makes during photosynthesis | A plant needs carbon dioxide and water. And it produces glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis. |
| 2 reasons why cell wall s are important for plants | A cell wall provides structural support and protects the plant cells, helping them maintain shape and resist external pressure and play a crucial role in regulating water in takes and maintaining turgor pressure. |
| 5 thing a plant needs to survive on land | A plants needs sunlight, water, air, nutrients from the soil, and a suitable temperature to survive on land. |
| How is a plant cell different from an animal cell | Primarily in the presence of rigid cell walls, chloroplast ,and a large vacuole In the plant cell witch are not in an animal cell? |
