Chapter 3 plants
lesson 1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chlorophyll | A green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplast of plants, algae, and some bacteria. |
| Photosynthesis | The process by which plants and other autotrophs capture and use light energy to make food from carbon dioxide and water. |
| Tissue | A group of similar cells that perform a specific function. |
| Chloroplast | An organelle in the cells of plants and some other organisms that capture energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy from that cell can use in making food. |
| Vacuole | a sac-like Organelle that stores water, food, and other materials. |
| Cuticle | The waxy, waterproof layer that covers the leaves and stems of moist plants. |
| Vascular tissue | The internal transporting tissue in some plants that is made up of tubelike structures that carry water, food, and minerals. |
| Organelle | A tiny cell structures that carries out specific functions within the cell. |
| Chromatin | Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins in the nucleus that packages genetic material and regulates gene expression. |
| Mitochondrion | Rod shaped cell structures that convert energy in molecules to energy the cells can use to carry out its functions. |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | A cell structure that forms, a maze of passage ways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of this cell to another. |
| Lysosomes | Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that serve as the digestive system of the cell, breaking down waste materials. |
| Golgi body | they are key cellular organelle responsible for processing, packaging, and transporting proteins and lipids within cells. |
| Describe the 3 main characteristics that all plants share. | Multicellular, autotroph, cell walls |
| List the 2 That a plant needs and the 2 things it makes during photosynthesis. | Carbon dioxide and water. Oxygen and Glucose. |
| What are 2 reasons why cell walls are important for a plant. | provides structural support and protection. |
| List the 5 things that a plant needs to survive on the land. | Light, water, air, nutrients, and space. |
| Label a plant cell diagram and why it's different from an animal cell. | plants cells have chloroplast, cell wall, and a larger vacuole Cell Wall Cell Membrane Nucleus Nucleolus Cytoplasm Chloroplasts Mitochondria Ribosomes Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Vacuole Plasmodesmata |
