- Plants Cells
- Nucleus
- contains chromosomes
- made of DNA & proteins
- contains genetic information
- contains chromosomes
- Cytoplasm
- takes up space not occupied by nucleus
- includes ions, enzymes, food molecules & organelles
- Cytosol
- semi-fluid substance in which organelles are suspended
- synthesis of proteins, fats & initial steps in release of energy from sugars
- Cytoskeleton
- gives cell it's shape & internal organisation
- consists of network of filaments & tubules
- cell movement & division
- Vacuoles
- filled with ions
- solution inside cells
- storage, waste disposal & growth
- Mitrochondria
- energy transformers
- chemical energy from glucose transferred to useable from called adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP)
- Ribosomes
- manufacture proteins
- attached to endoplasmic reticulum
- network of membranes
- continuous with outer membrane of nucleus
- rough side
- involved in synthesis of lipids & carbohydrates
- no ribosomes
- not involved in protein synthesis
- smooth side
- ribosomes attached
- involved in protein synthesis
- Golgi Apparatus
- stores, modifies & packages proteins & adds carbohydrates to them to ensure they get to the correct destination
- processing station
- Chloroplasts
- contains green pigment -> chlorofil
- only found in photosynthetic cells taking light energy, forming ATP & synthesising organic compounds from simple raw materials
- Nucleus
