| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chlorophyll | a green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplast of plants, algae, and some bacteria |
| Photosynthesis | a process by which plants and other autotrophs |
| Tissue | a group of similar cells that perform a specific function |
| Chloroplasts | an organelle that captures energy from sunlight and changes it to an energy form that cells can use in making food |
| Vacuole | a sac like organelle that stores water, food, and minerals |
| Cuticle | Waxy waterproof layer that covers the leaves and stems of most plants |
| Vascular tissue | internal transporting tissue in some plants that is made up of tubelike structures that carry water, food, and minerals |
| Organelle | Tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell |
| Chromatin | Thin strands containing genetic material instructions |
| Mitochondrion | powerhouse of cell convert energy to food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out functions |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | passage way carry protein and other materials from one part of the cell |
| Lysosomes | Small round structure’s containing chemicals that break down certain materials in a cell |
| Golgi body | Receives protein from Endoplasmic reticulum then packages and distributes then sent to other parts of the cell |
| Describe the 3 main characteristics that all plants share | auto, multi, cell walls, |
| List the 2 things that plants need and 2 things it makes during photosynthesis | energy, oxygen |
| 2 reasons why cell walls are important for plants | surrounding membranes and separates from environment |
| list five things that a plant needs to survive on land | obtain water and other nutrients from surroundings, retain water, support their body transport materials, and reproduce |
| label a plant cell diagram and why it's different from an animals cell | (plant)cell wall, one big vacuole, chloroplasts (animal) no cell wall, no chloroplasts, vacuole (a bunch of mini ones) |
