formed off of primary after cell is full grown

not in all cell types

more ridge and strong

they communicate through plasmodesmata

 

cells for structural support have thick 2nd walls and communicate slow, simple diffusion

Term

phospholipid bilayer

Term

nucleus 

 

Definition

sends coded messages (RNA) 

transcription

2 membranes: nuclear envelope

pores take up 1/3 surface area

pore permit only certain things into nucleus

nucleoplasm

nucleolus: RNA, dna&protein.

synthesize and assemble ribosomes

detoxification

production of hormones

Term

ribosomes

 

Definition

RNA and protein

protein synthesis

made in the nucleolus

Term
dictyosomes
Definition

in Golgi body

stacks of flat discs

packages stores and modifies proteins 

vesicles are pinched off from dictysomes

vesicles go to plasma membrane, fuse and secrete to outside of cell

 

up to 100 in plant cells meristematic tissue

plants control how many to control rates of secretion

Term
plastids
Definition

all begin as proplastid

before exposed to light- etioplasts

chloroplasts

chromoplasts

 

leucoplasts: no color

amyloplasts- break down starch

elaioplasts- store fats and oils. in seeds

proteinoplasts- store proteins and enzyme reactions

Term
vacuoles
Definition

30-90% of volume in cell

contains dissolved substances

pigments called anthocyains

maintains cell pressure, pH, and waste

 

Term
cytoskeleton
Definition

movement and structure

 

Microtubules: hallow tube-like tubulins

addition of cellulose to cell wall

movement of flagella and cilia

cell division

 

Microfilaments: carries nutrients, proteins and organelles around the cell

Term
plants major groups of organs
Definition

roots

stems

leaves

flowers/fruits

Term
meristems
Definition

clusters of cells for regions of growth, division and differentiation

small cells w/ large nucleus and small/no vacuole

 

apical (primary) and lateral (secondary)

Term

apical meristems

 

Definition

tips of the shoot tips of the root

makes roots and shoot get longer

totipotent (can give rise to any cell type)

Term
