Plant cells

• What should you be able to do by the end of the video?

  Label a diagram of a plant cell
• 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 a plant cell?

  It contains genetic material
• What takes place in the cytoplasm of a plant cell?

  Chemical reactions occur
• What does the cell membrane do in a plant cell?

  Controls molecule entry and exit
• What is the role of mitochondria in plant cells?

  Carry out aerobic respiration

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

  Chloroplasts, cell wall, large vacuole
• What do chloroplasts contain that is essential for photosynthesis?

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

  Strengthens the cell
• What is the chemical composition of the cell wall in plant cells?

  Cellulose
• What is the purpose of the large permanent vacuole in plant cells?

  Helps give the plant cell its shape
• What is the fluid called that fills the vacuole in plant cells?

  Cell sap
