THE PLANT CELL Tissues • Aggregation of cells – Simple: composed of one cell type – Complex: composed of different cell types THE PLANT CELL • Cell Wall • Protoplast CELL WALL Middle lamella Primary wall Secondary wall Plasmodesmata Plasma membrane Middle lamella Secondary wall Primary wall CHEMICALCOMPOSITION MIDDLE LAMELLA Pectins Calcium CHEMICALCOMPOSITION PRIMARY WALL Cellulose (30%) Hemicelluloses (30%) Pectins (30%) Proteins (10%) CHEMICALCOMPOSITION SECONDARY WALL Cellulose (50%) Hemicelluloses (20%) Proteins (< 10%) LIGNIN PLASMODESMATA PLASMA MEMBRANE • Phospholipid bilayer • Semi-permeable membrane • Compartmentalization PLASMA MEMBRANE • Functions – perception of external signals – synthesis of cellulose – transport of molecules, ions, hormones, etc. in & out of the cell • Osmosis • Active transport • Passive transport SINGLE MEMBRANED ORGANELLES • Vacuole • Microbodies Single Membraned Organelles VACUOLE • Tonoplast (membrane: phospholipid bilayer) • Functions: – storage of H2O, inorganic compounds, 1o and 2o metabolites, anthocyanins – cell turgidity Single Membraned Organelles MICROBODIES • Fat bodies • Protein bodies DOUBLE MEMBRANED ORGANELLES • Plastids • Nucleus • Mitochondria Double Membraned Organelles PLASTIDS • • • • Chloroplasts Chromoplasts Amyloplasts Leucoplasts Double Membraned Organelles NUCLEUS • • • • nuclear envelopes (pores) nucleoplasma chromosomes nucleolus Double Membraned Organelles MITOCHONDRIA • respiration • DNA, RNA • ribosomes ENDOMEMBRANE SYSTEM • Endoplasmic Reticulum • Golgi apparatus • Vesicles Endomembrane System ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM • rough and smooth ER • synthesis of membrane Endomembrane System GOLGI APPARATUS • synthesis of cell wall materials • protein modification Endomembrane System VESICLES Non-Membranous Components RIBOSOMES • ribosomal RNA + proteins • associated with the rough ER and free in cytoplasm • synthesis of all protein Non-Membranous Components Cytoskeleton • Microtubules - Tubulin & • Microfilaments - actin filaments • Intermediate filaments
