plant cell
regular shape.
animal cell
irregular shape.
large vacuole
where the plant stores food and water.
chloroplast
organelle where photosynthesis occurs in a plant cell.
cell membrane
controls what enters and leaves the cell.
nucleus
contains the cell's genes and controls the cell's growth and reproduction.
endoplasmic reticulum
a network of membranes inside a cell which proteins and molecules move.
mitochondria
an organelle that generates most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions.
cell wall
provides the plant cell with shape and support.
anther
hold the pollen that contains the male sex cell.
carpel
the female sex organ of a flower.
capillary action
the ability of thin columns of water to be pulled in a way without breaking. caused by the attractive forces between water molecules in the liquid.
excretion
release of waste made in cells.
flower
the reproductive organ of some plants.
fruit
structure containing seeds.
fertilisation
the joining/ fusing of male and female gametes (sex cells).
germination
growth of a plant seed embryo.
cotyledon
the first part of a plant to emerge from the seed formed within the seed along with the endosperm.
chlorophyll
green pigment found in chloroplasts that can absorb light.
dispersal
to get the seeds away from the parenting parent so there is no competition for sunlight nutrients water and space.
guard cells
these cells are located either side of the stomata and are able to expand and contract.
iodine
is used to test for the presence of starch, goes a bluey black colour.
organism
a living plant or animal.
organelle
a microscopic structure within a living cell.
ovule
the female plant sex cell.
ovary
where the female sex cells are made and stored.
pollen
the male plant sex cells.
pollination
the process of taking pollen from one flower to another.
phloem
moves glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant in all directions.
palisade cells
top layer of a leaf where most photosynthesis takes place.
photosynthesis
a process by which plants turn light energy into chemical energy.
plumule
first shoot of a germinating seed.
respiration
once plants make food in their leaves they use it to produce energy.
seed
the embryo of a plant
stamen
the pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower.
stigma
female plant reproductive part that receives the pollen.
stomata
pore-like opening on the leaf that allow gases to diffuse into and out the leaf and lets carbon dioxide into the leaf and lets out the oxygen.
testa
the protective outer covering of a seed.
transpiration
the loss of water from a plant, particularly the lamina.
xylem
moves water and minerals from the roots to the leaves,
osmosis
water moving from high to low concentrations through the cell membrane.
radical
a new root
respiration
The process where plants use glucose from photosynthesis and oxygen to create energy for growth.
zygote
first cell after fertilisation.
