Plant Cell NOLAN ADAIR PERIOD 5 Mrs. Beaman: E-Core Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Cell membrane Chloroplast Vacuole Ribosomes Mitochondria Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Cell wall Golgi Apparatus Nucleus Nucleolus Vacuole • Vacuoles tend to be large in plant cells and play several roles: 1. Storing nutrients and waste products 2. Helping increase cell size during growth 3. Acting much like lysosomes of animal cells 4. Regulates turgor pressure in the cell Ribosomes • Ribosomes are packets of RNA and protein that play a crucial role in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells • Site of protein synthesis • Each ribosome consists of two parts – a large and a small subunit Nucleus • The most obvious organelle in any eukaryotic cell • Enclosed in a double membrane and communicates with the surrounding cytosol • Within the nucleus is the DNA responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics Nucleolus • The prominent structure in the nucleus is the nucleolus • The nucleolus produces Ribosomes Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum • It is called this because it appears smooth by electron microscopy • Plays different functions depending on the specific cell type including lipid and steroid hormone synthesis • Breakdown of lipid – soluble toxins in liver cells • Control of calcium release in muscle cell contraction Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum • Appears ‘pebbled’ by electron microscopy due to the presence of numerous Ribosomes on its surface • Proteins synthesized on these Ribosomes collect in the endoplasmic reticulum for transport throughout the cell Chloroplast • Specialized organelles found in all higher plant cells • Contain the plant cell’s chlorophyll responsible for the plant’s green color • Have a double outer membrane Golgi Apparatus • Is a membrane – bound structure with a single membrane • Is actually a stack of membrane – bound vesicles that are important in packaging macromolecules for transport elsewhere in the cell • Stack of larger vesicles is surrounded by numerous smaller vesicles containing those packaged macromolecules Cell Membrane • Every cell is enclosed in a membrane • Exposed heads of the bilayer are hydrophilic, meaning that they are combatable with water both within the cytosol and outside of the cell • Is made more complex by the presence of numerous proteins that are crucial to cell activity Cell Wall • Plant cells have a rigid, protective cell wall made up of polysaccharides • The cell wall provides and maintains the shape of these cells and serves as a protective barrier • Fluid collects in the plant cell vacuole and pushes out against the cell wall Mitochondrion • Provides the energy a cell needs to move, divide, produce secretory products • They are the power centers of the cell • Are membrane – bound organelles • Have a double membrane • About the size of bacteria, but may have different shapes depending on the cell types
