  4. Plant Cells Plants are made of cells, just like other living things

  5. jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located Controls many of the functions of the cell Contains chlorophyll- most plants green Pigment are also stored here; make flowers red, blue, purple Need this to make own food controls water content of cell Provides structure And protection PLANT CELL DIAGRAM

  6. Plant Protection and Support • Cuticle- a waxy, protective layer on the surface of a plant; slows loss of water (demonstration and lab) Lab: Wax paper…. Just as the cuticle…. • Cellulose- chemical compound plants can make out of sugar; strengthens cell walls

  7. Classification of Plants Vascular Plants • Have tubelikestructures that carry water, nutrients, and other substances throughout the plant Nonvascular Plants • Do not have tubelike structures, use other ways to move water and substances
