Plant cells

• What is the main difference between plant and animal cells regarding photosynthesis?

  Plants can use light for photosynthesis
• What are the structures found in animal cells mentioned in the video?

  Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
• How do plant cells differ in shape compared to animal cells?

  Plant cells have a regular shape
• What do plant cells contain that are packed full of green structures?

  Chloroplasts
• What is the function of the nucleus in plant cells?

  Contains genetic material
• What is the role of the cytoplasm in plant cells?

  Where chemical reactions take place
• What does the cell membrane do in plant cells?

  Controls which molecules enter and leave
• What is the function of mitochondria in plant cells?

  Carry out aerobic respiration
• What are ribosomes responsible for in plant cells?

  Protein synthesis
• What three structures do plant cells have that animal cells do not?

  Chloroplasts, cell wall, large vacuole
• What do chloroplasts contain and what is their function?

  Contain chlorophyll and are sites of photosynthesis
• What is the cell wall made from in plant cells?

  Cellulose
• What is the function of the cell wall in plant cells?

  Strengthens the cell
• What is the large permanent vacuole filled with in plant cells?

  Cell sap
• How does the vacuole help plant cells?

  Helps give the plant cell its shape
• What are the main components of a plant cell?

  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasm
  • Cell membrane
  • Mitochondria
  • Ribosomes
  • Chloroplasts
  • Cell wall
  • Large permanent vacuole
• What are the functions of the different parts of a plant cell?

  • Nucleus: Contains genetic material
  • Cytoplasm: Site of chemical reactions
  • Cell membrane: Controls entry and exit of molecules
  • Mitochondria: Carry out aerobic respiration
  • Ribosomes: Protein synthesis
  • Chloroplasts: Sites of photosynthesis
  • Cell wall: Provides strength
  • Vacuole: Maintains cell shape
