Chapter 3 Plants
Lesson 1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What are the 3 main characteristics of all plants share? | Multi-cellular, autotrophic and contain a cell wall |
| Chlorophyll | A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and bacteria. |
| Photosynthesis | Sunlight provides the energy for-making factory. |
| Tissue | Tissues are groups of similar cells that perform a specific function in an organism. |
| The 2 things that a plant needs and the 2 things it makes during photosynthesis. | Water, and transport materials, and they make food, and oxygen. |
| Chloroplasts | They look like green jelly beans and this is where the food is made. |
| Vacuole | A large sac that expands and can shrink. It can hold many substances including water, food, and waste. |
| Cuticle | It helps plants reduce water loss. It’s also a waterproof and waxy. |
| What are 2 reasons why cell walls are important for plants. | One reason is to protect them from the environment and it contains a cellulose which makes them rigid. |
| Vascular Tissue | A tube-like which helps move water and food. |
| Organelle | A tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell. |
| Chromatin | The strands in a nucleus and they contain Genetic material and it lets it grow. |
| The five things that a plants cell needs to survive on land. | Plants need water, transport materials, obtain water, nutrients from surroundings, reproduce, retain water, and support their bodies. |
| Mitochondrion | A rod shaped cell structures that convert energy in food molecules to energy the cell can use to carry out its functions. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | A cell structures that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another. |
| Lysosomes | A small, round structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones. |
| Label a plant cell diagram and why it is different from an animal cell. | A plant cell has a bigger vacuole than the animal cell. A animal cell has no Chloroplasts but the plant cell does. |
| Golgi Body | A structure in a cell that resides proteins and other newly materials . |
