Chapter 3 Plants

Lesson 1

TermDefinition
Chlorophyll A green Photosynthetic pigment found in algae, plants and bacteria.
What are the 3 main characteristics that all plants share? They are all autotrophs, multicellular, and have cell walls.
Photosynthesis The process of which plants and other autotrophs capture and use 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 the sun and change it into energy for food.
Vacuole A sac-like organelle that stores water, food, and other materials.
Cuticle The waxy, water-proof layer that covers the leaves and stems of most 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 structure that carries out a specific function within a cell.
Chromatin They contain genetic material, the instructions for the functions of the cell.
Mitochondrion Rod-shaped cell structures that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use for food to carry out the function.
Endoplasmic reticulum A cell structure that forms a maze of passageway in which proteins and other materials are carried from one place to another not her part of the cell.
Lysosomes A small, round cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones.
Golgi body A structure in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell.
2 things a plant needs, and 2 things they make during photosynthesis. They need water and other nutrients, and produce carbon dioxide and oxygen.
2 reasons cell walls are important. They are important because it surrounds the membrane and separates it from the environment.
5 things a plant needs to survive on land. Obtaining water and other nutrients, retaining water, support, transporting materials, and reproduction.
Why is a plant cell diagram different from an animals cell diagram? They are different because the plant cell has a chloroplast which makes the plant green.
