how many organelles in a plant cell
8
what are the 3 extra organelles unlike animal cells
cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts
role of nucleus  
organelle which stores DNA (genetic info) that controls the cells activities
role of ribosomes 
small organelles responsible for making proteins
role of chloroplasts 
green, disc-shaped organelles which provide food for the plant and where photosynthesis occurs
why are chloroplasts green  
they contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which s used during photosynthesis
role of cell membrane
forms the outer surface of the cell and semi permeable so controls which substances go in and out
role of cell wall
rigid structure composed of cellulose which surrounds the cell membrane and provides strength and protection to plant cells
role of cytoplasm  
a gel-like substance which contains enzymes that catalyse metabolic reactions eg respiration
role of mitochondria 
small organelles where most reactions for aerobic respiration takes place
whats the role of respiration in the mitochondria
it transfers energy that the cell needs to work
role of vacuole 
large organelle which contains cell sap and helps support the cell
what is cell sap
found in vacuole and a weak solution of sugars+salts
