Plant Cells Part 4 Quiz

The cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, forms a barrier between the cell wall and cytoplasm, regulating material movement.

Lysosomes are sac-like organelles that contain enzymes to digest waste materials and worn-out cell components.

The nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus, separating it from the cytoplasm and controlling the flow of substances in and out.

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

The cell wall, made of cellulose, gives the plant cell its rigid structure and provides mechanical support.

Cytoplasm is the jelly-like material that holds the cell organelles and allows chemical reactions to occur.

Nucleoplasm, or nuclear sap, is the fluid inside the nucleus that supports chromosomes and the nucleolus.

Centrioles help organize spindle fibers during cell division, though they are more common in animal than in plant cells.

Plant cells use mitosis to produce identical daughter cells for growth and tissue repair.

Chromoplasts contain pigments like carotene and xanthophyll, which give flowers and fruits their bright colors.
