Today i am going to go inside a plant cell, to see what there is inside it. I will be telling you what i see and what everything is made of. So now i am going to shrink down to miniscule size and see what is lurking about......

Slide 3

The first thing you will come to on your way through a plant cell, is the cell wall. The cell wall is rigid and gives plant cells a very defined shape. While most cells have a outer membrane, the plant cell wall is by far the strongest. This cell wall is the reason for the difference between plant and animal cell functions. Because the plant has evolved this rigid structure, they are not able to develop nervous systems, immune systems, and most importantly, mobility. CELL WALL

As soon as you have pushed through the cell wall you will come to the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance that is found in animal and plant cells. It acts as a transport system and prevents the cell from collapsing. It allows gases to pass in and out of the cell, it acts as a transport system and lets things move freely. CYTOPLASM

Slide 5

As soon as you are inside the cytoplasm you will find yourself bumping into lots of chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain green coloured pigments known as Chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. Every green plant you see is working to convert the energy of the sun into sugars. Plants create sugars, and the byproduct of that process is the oxygen that we breathe. That process happens in the chloroplast. CHLOROPLASTS

Slide 6

The Nucleus controls what happens inside the cell. It carries genetic information in the form of long strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). They are all bundled together in the nucleus like a ball of string. NUCLEUS

Slide 7

And finally we come to the vacuole. The vacuole contains a liquid called cell sap, which keeps the cell firm, it is used only in plant cells and it is responsible for maintaining the shape and structure of the cell. VACUOLE
