Parts of Cell

• Plant cell is box shaped
• Plant cell contains the cell wall which envelops the plant
• Chloroplast is a type of plastid that manufactures and stores food.
• Vacuole is the water storage of a cell. It is larger in a plant cell.
• Tonoplast is a single semi-membrane that envelops the vacuole
• Autotrophs produce their own food
• Photoautotrophs are light dependent meanwhile chemoautotrophs are organisms in the deep ocean
• The cell membrane is a protective coat that is made up of a double layer of lipids and proteins
• The cell membrane is semi-permeable
• Cytoplasm is the fluid in the cell and surrounds the contents of the cell. It makes up the vacuole
• Endoplasmic Reticulum is for molecules that enter the cell. it is also a transport network for molecules that enter the cell.
• Smooth E.R. is the site for lipid synthesis
• Rough E.R. is the site for protein synthesis
• Golgi Apparatus packages protein before distributing to different organelles.
• Ribosomes from the Endoplasmic Reticulum goes to the Golgi apparatus and gets modified to be distributed to other organelles
• Lysosome is rich with digestive enzymes that speed up biochemical reactions
• Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It transforms glucose to ATP
• ATP is adenosine triphosphate
• Nucleus contains genetic info that establishes every natural processes within an organism.
• DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid
• Ribosomes are needed for DNA replication. It is also known as "protein synthesis machine"
• This is the protective outer layer of a cell that assists in the movement of molecules in and out

  Cell Membrane
• It can only be found in plants and gives a distinct structural shape and protection to the plant

  Cell Wall
• It is known as the power generator of the cell. it can convert sun energy into food through photosynthesis


  Chloroplast
• The fluid surrounding the contents of a cell and forms a vacuole

  Cytoplasm
• The transport network for molecules that enter the cell

  Endoplasmic reticulum
• It is made of plates arranged one on top of another that controls the flow of molecules in the cell.

  Golgi Apparatus
• The energy storage of the cell

  lysosome
• The microscopic units which make up all living things
