Plant Cells
Plant cells are made up of many different parts.
A plant cell consists of:
Cytoplasm is where the chemical reactions happen. It is a jelly-like substance and is only a thin lining. Plant chloroplast is different to animal chloroplast because it traps the light energy from photosynthesis, which gives the plant its colour.
The nucleus controls everything that happens inside the cell and it carries genetic information.
Chloroplast is where photosynthesis happens. Chloroplast contains chlorophyll, which is a green substance.
The vacuole helps the cell stay firm using a liquid called cell sap.
The cell wall is made up of a tough substance called 'cellulose', which supports the cell.
Mitochondria are very small parts of the cell that contain energy, glucose and oxygen.
These six cell parts are very important and help the cell live and reproduce, these are the parts of a cell that keeps it alive.
Plants use photosynthesis which uses and need energy, oxygen, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll and glucose.
Plants also use respiration which uses and need glucose, oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, energy and nutrients.
Photosynthesis:
Carbon dioxide+ water+ energy=> glucose+ oxygen.
Respiration:
Glucose+ oxygen=> carbon dioxide+ water+ energy.
Photosynthesis and Respiration operate the opposite way to each other.
Plants use both photosynthesis and respiration.
Plant cells usually have irregular shapes.
