Module 1.1 Plant Cell

Plants are considered ___ because they produce their own food plant cells are ___because they use light energy from the sun to produce glucose

Plant cells store water in the central vacuole, which expands the vacuole into the sides of the cell. The cell wall then pushes against the walls of other cells, creating a force known as ____.

specialized disk-shaped organelles carry out the process of photosynthesis, which turns water, carbon dioxide, and light energy into nutrients

fluid matrix at the center of the chloroplast

flattened disks within the stroma, and when stacked, is called grand. have a high concentration of chlorophyll and carotenoids, which are pigments that capture light energy

s a small sphere of plasma membrane within the cell that can contain fluid, ions, and other molecules. Vacuoles are essentially just large vesicles. helps maintain its turgor pressure

a layer found on the outside of the plant cell that gives it strength and also maintains high turgidity. flexible layer formed on the outside of a growing plant cell a tough, thick layer formed inside the primary plant cell wall when the cell is mature.

the plant cell wall contains mainly ____, along with other molecules like ____, ____, and ____, bacteria cell wall contains ____

cytoplasmic channels through cell walls that connect the cytoplasms of adjacent cells.
