Plant Cell Structures and Functions
3

• Cells
• Robert Hooke was the first to observe cells
  through a microscope. He called them cells
  because they looked like little rooms
• All living things contain cells
• Cells are alive
• A cell is the smallest unit that is capable of
  performing life functions

cell wall

• Nickname The Supporter
• Function Provides support and
• protection to the cell
• membrane.

6

cell membrane

• Nickname The Barrier
• Function Outer covering of the
• cell. Controls what goes
• in and out of the cell.

nucleus

• Nickname The Control Center
• Function Holds the DNA the
• brain of the cell.

nucleolus

• Nickname The Mini Control Center
• Function Produces ribosomes.

vacuole

• Nickname The Water Sac
• Function Stores water, nutrients
• and waste.

endoplasmic reticulum

• Nickname The Highway System
• Function The transport system of
• the cell.

ribosome

• Nickname The Building Blocks
• of Cells
• Function Makes protein.

18

golgi complex
Nickname The shippers Function Packages
and sends materials to
different location
inside/outside of the cell.

mitochondria
Nickname The Powerhouse Function The part
of the cell that gets energy
from food
to make ATP.
21

mitochondria
22

lysosome

• Nickname Clean-up Crews
• Function To digest and to break
• down food.

23

lysosome
24

chloroplast
Nickname Green Bean Function Traps energy
from the sun to produce food
for the plant cell in a
process called photosynthesis.
25

chloroplast
26

cytoplasm

• Nickname Jelly Belly
• Function Gooey substance that
• holds all of the
• organelles in the cell.
