What are the functions of the cells ?
A. Cells work together to cell living things alive
B. Get rid of wastes
C. Repair and grow
D. Get energy from food/sun
What are the differences between plants and animals?
Animal cells are only found in animals. Plant cells are only found in plants.
Plant cells are often larger than animal cells.
Animal cells are
irregularly/spherical shaped and plant cells are rectangular in shape.
Plant
cells have additional organelles (cell wall, chloroplasts, large central
vacuole).
What organelles are common in both plants and animals cells?
Cytoplasm, Cell membrane, Nucleus, Mitochondria,Endoplasmic, Reticulum, Golgi bodies, Vacules
Which organelles are found only in plants?
Chloroplasts,Larger central vacuole, Cell wall
What are the functions of the Large Central Vacuole?
A. Temporarily holds wastes
B. Helps maintain an internal pressure
C. Keeps the leaves and stems large and firm
What are the functions of the Cell Wall?
A. Very hard structure made of cellulose
B. It provides strength to the cell as well as protection
What are the functions of the chloroplasts?
A. It makes food (glucose) through photosynthesis
B. It contains chlorophyll which allows them to absorb the energy from
the sun
Explain photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplasts take carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the
environment and light energy from the sun to create glucose(CH2O) and
oxygen (O2).
What is the main purpose of photosynthesis?
The main purpose is to create sugar for food and oxygen for animals.
What would happen if photosynthesis stopped in all plants?
Almost all living things on earth would eventually die.
