Plant Processes

1. works as the processing facility to sort, label, package and distribute lipids and proteins
4. fluid filled flat membranous sacs which move substance in and out of cells
7. synthesize protein in peptide chains made of amino acids
9. phospholipid bilayer which separates the contents of a cell from the outer environment
11. storage organelles unique to plants and algae
12. referred to as the “powerhouse” of the cell which creates ATP for energy throughout a cell
13. large membranous structure which acts as a balloon supporting the plant cell walls and is responsible for regulating the concentration of water within a cell
14. gel-like substance inside the cell which holds the organelles in place
15. specialized cellular part with a specific function and is vital to the operation of plant tissues
16. houses the nucleolus, nuclear envelope and chromosomes

2. works to modify protein
3. acts as a filter for plants to detoxify any contaminants which enter the plant cells
5. provides structural support which gives a cell its shape
6. “skeleton” for the cytoplasm which consists of a collection of protein filaments
8. works to synthesize lipids
10. site of photosynthesis where chlorophyll and other pigments are found
