Chapter 3 Plants
Lesson 1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chlorophyll | a green photosynthetic pigment found in the chloroplast of plants algae and some bacteria. |
| Photosynthesis | the processes by which plants and other autotrophs capture and use light energy,carbon dioxide |
| 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 form that cells can use for making food. |
| Vacuole | A saclike organelle that stores, water, food, and other materials. |
| Cuticle | the waxy waterproof layer that covers the leaves and stems of most plants |
| vascular tissue | The internal transporting tissue in some plants that is made up of tube like structures that carry water, food and minerals. |
| Organelle | a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function within the cell. |
| Chromatin | You might wonder how the nucleus knows how to direct the the answer lies in those thin trans floating directly ahead of in the new strands called chromatin contain genetic material the instructions for directing cells functions for example, example the in |
| Mitochondria | mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell because they convert energy in the food to energy that cell can use to carry out of the functions |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | A cell structure, that forms a maze the passage ways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another. |
| Lysosomes | A small cell structure containing chemicals that break down large food particles into smaller ones. |
| Golgi Body | A structure in a cell that uses crackles and other form material from the endoplasmic rectum packages, them two other parts of the cell. |
| Describe the three characteristics that all plants share | multicellular autotrophs cell walls |
| List the two things that a plant needs and the two things it makes during photosynthesis | Water and nutrients. Transport material and reproduce.. |
| what are the two reasons why cell walls are important for plants? | Surrounds the cell membrane and separates a cell from the environment. |
| List the five things that a plant needs to survive on land. | Water, nutrients, retain water, support their bodies, transport materials, and reproduce. |
| Differences between plant and animal cells | Plant cells have chloroplast, cell walls, and a larger vacuole. |
