Question

Please help!!!!

Can someone please give a small description on these words based off of plant cells

Cell wall
Golgi apparatus
Chloroplast
Cell membrane
Intermediate filaments
Ribosome

Answer 1

Hey,

The cell wall is an extra protective layer around the plasma membrane, and allows for plant protection from bacteria, water etc. The Golgi apparatus is an organelle within plant cells that modifies, packages, and transports proteins and lipids throughout the cell. Chloroplasts are organelles within plant cells that are responsible for photosynthesis. They contain thylakoids and the stroma. The cell membrane (aka plasma membrane) is made up mainly of phospholipids. It is selectively permeable, meaning it only allows certain substances to pass, usually small, non-polar particles. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, or where proteins are built. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Cell wall: A protective layer covering the outside of the cell. They keep the shape of the plant cell, prevent water loss, and provide support.

golgi apparatus: Transports proteins and lipids around the cell. Often it is called the shipping department of the cell.

chloroplast: Chloroplasts store chlorophyll and this is where photosynthesis takes place in the cell.

Cell membrane: A layer that covers the cell, acts as a gate and determines what comes and goes through the cell. It allows good things in, while keeping others out.

Intermediate filaments: Provides support when when the plant cell comes into contact with other cells.

Ribosome: The part of the cell that is responsible for creating proteins.
