The Organelles of the Plant Cell Warm Up Watch the video on the organelles or parts of the plant cell. Then, write down 5 new things you learned about the parts of the cell from watching this video. Make sure your heading and title is on your paper. If not, no grade will be given for your assignment.

The Organelles of Plants Definitions 1. Chromatin: combination of DNA and proteins that make up the nucleus of a plant cell because this organelle regulates the plant. 2. Chloroplast: organelle that conducts photosynthesis and captures the light energy for this synthesis chemical reaction. 3. Mitochondrion: major producers of ATP because this molecule is the energy that plants get from the glucose they make

4. Cell Wall: is similar to the skeletal system that the members of the animal kingdom have because this organelle provides shape, structure, and support for the plant 5. Plasma Membrane: is also called the cell membrane because this organelle is selectively permeable by only letting certain things permeate or move in and out of the plant cell. 6. Vacuole: is the largest organelle in the plant cell because this is important for storing water and other materials necessary for the plant to survive.

Plant and Animal Cell Comparison Although plant and animal cells are both considered to be cells, both of them have properties that they don’t share. Plant cells have the cell wall, chloroplast, and vacuole organelles that animal cells don’t have because they don’t need them to survive.

Creative Definitions for Plant Organelles Create 6 divisions on your paper In each box, write the name of the organelle, a shorter version of the definition, and then a creative example or illustration great for memorizing this organelle’s definition.
