  1. The Plant Cell & Organelles

  2. Plant Cells • A plant is made up of many cells that have special characteristics that make them rigid (stiff) and able to make their own food.

  3. Organelles Organelle Job for cell Analogy Hard outer covering Cell Wall Stone wall Cell Membrane Thin protective layer Place where energy is made Mitochondria Place where sunlight is turned into food Chloroplast Water storage Vacuole

  4. Organelles Organelle Job for cell Analogy Hard outer covering Cell Wall Stone wall Cell Membrane Thin protective layer Your skin Place where energy is made Mitochondria HECO Place where sunlight is turned into food Chloroplast Solar panel Water storage Reservoir tank Vacuole

  5. Organelles Organelle Job for cell Analogy Needed for cell division Centriole Puts big molecules together Ribosome Needed to transport things around cell Golgi Apparatus Tunnels or paths throughout cell Endoplasmic Reticulum Digestive organelle Lysosome

  6. Organelles Organelle Job for cell Analogy Needed for cell division Centriole Fishing reel Puts big molecules together Construction workers Ribosome Needed to transport things around cell Golgi Apparatus Post office Tunnels or paths throughout cell Endoplasmic Reticulum Freeway Digestive organelle Your stomach Lysosome

  7. Parts of the Plant Cell Cell Membrane Nucleus Cell Wall Vacuole Chloroplast

  8. Chloroplast Green! The chloroplast has pancake stacks that capture the sunlight and turn it into sugar… PHOTOSYNTHESIS!!!

  9. Chlorophyll This is the pigment chlorophyll that helps the plant capture the sunlight.

  10. Chromatography When you did the chromatography of the plant, color seen at the end were all the chlorophylls ( ) that were released when the leaf (lettuce or spinach) was destroyed. End Start

  11. What kind of cells do we have? • If we were made of plant cells, our body would probably move like our friend Treebeard! • Our cells lack a cell wall, so they are not stiff and rigid. http://www.willisms.com/archives/treebeard.jpg, Access Date: Dec. 7, 2006
