Plant Cells and Their Organelles

Plant Cells and Their Organelles
Curious George
Know-It-All Georgette

• By M. K.

Introduction

• Plant cells are eukaryotic. They have 13
  parts to them, this is not including the parts
  within the organelles.
• Now, each slide will have information on one of
  the 13 organelles.
• Well start from the inside and work our way
  outside.
• ILL TRY TO BE QUICK

3
Nucleus

• You should know what this part does.. ALL THE
  THINKING AND BOSSING AROUND.
• It tells the cell to eat, drink and takes out all
  of its waste (or store the waste.)
• Without the Nucleus the whole cell would be out
  of control. The cell wouldnt know when its
  hungry and if it had to do its waste.

4
Rough/Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosome

• These big words might scare you, but have no
  fear I am here, to explain.
• The rough Endoplasmic Reticulum have little
  spherical ribosome on them which make it bumpy,
  thats why they are called rough the ribosome
  on the Endoplasmic reticulum are there to create
  proteins for the whole cell.
• The smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum doesnt make
  proteins therefore, doesnt need the ribosome on
  itself. It just creates hormones and fatty acids.
  The fatty acids are oily, making the Smooth
  Endoplasmic Reticulum smooth.
• You may be wondering what does this organelle
  do. What it does is transport calcium, ions and
  other thing like that. Think of it as a highway!

5
Vacuole

• Buuuuuuurrrrrrrrrpppp Whoa what was that?
• That, my friend is a very, very satisfied
  Vacuole the more it eats the more bigger its
  stomach gets the less it eats the more flabbier
  its stomach gets. So basically it acts like a
  balloon
• Did you know that young plant cells usually
  have many small vacuoles, but as the cells
  mature, the vacuoles almost fuses into one large
  central vacuole!
• Also they dont only store foods but their
  wastes, now thats gross!

6
Lysosome

• This organelle is very rare in Plant Cells
  but common in Animal cells.
  Its job is to kill bacteria that
  attacks the cells, now you can probably see why
  its rare in plant cells. Not many bacteria would
  be after plants. Try to think of a Lysosome as a
  warrior.

7
Golgi Apparatus

• This organelles looks a lot like Endoplasmic
  Reticulum but its functions are similar to the
  Vacuole. It stores, secretes (releases stuff out
  of its pores) and makes the cell products. I
  cant really think what this resembles, guess
  this is the only one you have to memorize!

8
Mitochondria

• Mitochondria provide the energy a cell needs to
  move, divide and produce. Here Ill give you a
  better explanation. You could call them the
  power plant of the cell. It helps the Cell get
  energy, its what allows the cell to do all types
  of activities. The size of a Mitochondria is
  similar to a bacteria . These battery like
  organelles come in different shapes.

9
Chloroplasts

• Chloroplasts tell what their role is right in
  their name you might not have guessed but they
  produce chlorophyll this the substance needed in
  a plant to give it a green, fresh looking colour.
  This organelle has a membrane of its own.

10
Membrane

• Awwww man, my bag just ripped, guess I carried
  to many things in it. Everything happens to me!
• Like why doesnt it happen to these Plant
  Cells, they have such a thin, leafy layer?
• First of all those cells are way more organized
  and careful than you are, they dont stuff
  everything inside themselves, hoping itll fit
  in.
• They may have lots of parts but they can hold
  it. This is because they have a membrane which
  is like skin. The role for this organelle is to
  keep everything in, inside and everything out,
  outside, kind of like a thermos.

11
Cytoplasm

• Finally away from that brainiac Georgette!
  This swimming pool is so soothing.
• Hey George, where were you?
• Away from you-I mean away from the
  pollution
• Oh I see, you know this swimming pool is a lot
  like cytoplasm and were like the little proteins
  or particles in it. When were not needed, we
  just sit in the cytoplasm waiting for us to be
  needed kind of like sitting in a swimming pool
  until your mom calls you .
• Yeeeeaaahhh, mentioning that I think Im
  needed somewhere far away (from Georgette)!

12
The Cell Wall

• The Cell wall is like a membrane but unlike the
  membrane which holds just the cytoplasm and the
  things inside it, the cell wall holds everything.
  Its almost like a gift wrapper which wraps up
  everything just like this presentation.
• Thank-You (for those who paid any attention
  whatsoever!)
