Down below are the terms and their definitions to the parts of a plant cell.
- Nucleus- A membrane enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells and contains most of cells genetic material organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with large variety of proteins to form chromosomes.
- Nucleolus- Produces subunits of ribosomes.
- Central vacuole- large, fluid filled sac that stored metabolites and helps maintain turgor pressure.
- Chloroplast- carries out photosynthesis, producing sugars.
- Mitochondrion- organelle that carries out cellular respiration, producing ATP molecules.
- Microtubules- cylinders of protein molecules present in cytoplasm.
- Actin filaments- protein fibers that play a role in movement of cell and organelles.
- Plasma(cell) membrane- surrounds cytoplasm, and regulates entrance and exit of molecules.
- Cell wall- outer surface that shapes, supports, and protects cells.
- Cytoplasm- semifluid matrix outside nucleus that contains organelle.
- Golgi apparatus- processes, packages, and secrets modified cell products.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum- a type of organelle in the cells of eukaryotic organisms that forms an inter connected network of flattened, membrane enclosed sacs or tubes known as cisternae.
- Ribosomes- carry out protein synthesis.
