SCIENCE (Biology)

• Plant cells are eukaryotic cells or cells with membrane bound nucleus
• Cell wall is tye outermost covering of the plant cell. It is a main feature of plant cell
• Cell membrane or the plasma membrane is the outer lining of the cell inside the cell wall
• Cytosol or cytoplasm is the gel-like matrix inside the cell membrane which constitutes all other cell organelles
• The nucleus is the outer center of the cell. It is a membrane bound structure which contains the hereditary material of the cell- the DNA
• Chloroplast is a plastid with green pigment chlorophyll. It traps light energy and converts it to chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis
• The mitochondria carry out cellular respiration and provide energy to the cells
• Vacuoles are the temporary storage center of the cell
• Golgi Body is the unit where proteins are sorted and packed
• Ribosomes are structures that assemble proteins
• The endoplasmic reticulum (Plural Endoplasmic Reticula) is a membrane -covered organelle that transports cell materials
• Peptidoglycan is composed of amino acids and sugars. It provides structure and protection to the cell wall againts bacteria
• Chitin serves as the cell's structiral support against fungi
• Root hairs extension of the cell. A hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root
• Stroma is found inside of the chloroplast. It is a colorless fluid surrounded by grana (light-dependent reactions take place here)
• Thylakoids is the flattened sacs inside chloroplast bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks of grana
• Chlorophyll is a green pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis
