1. Plant Cells: Study Guide
1. Be able to match the parts of a plant cell with its job.
2. Write the chemical change that occurs in photosynthesis.
3. What are the 2 jobs of photosynthesis?
4. What are 3 things required for photosynthesis to take place?
5. Which organelle in a plant
CELL helps photosynthesis?
6. How does the chloroplast help with photosynthesis?
7. Which part of the PLANT absorbs water and minerals?
8. Which part of the PLANT contains the chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis?
9. What do plants give off as a product of photosynthesis?
Water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide becomes glucose and oxygen.
1. For plants to make their own food (glucose)
2. For plants to make oxygen
1. Carbon dioxide C02
2. Water H20
3. Sunlight
Chloroplast
The chloroplast contains chlorophyll which captures the sun’s energy.
The roots
The leaves
Oxygen
1. Rod-shaped organelles where energy from glucose is changed into ATP for the cell to use.

2. A thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell. It gives the cell most of its support and structure.
3. A long organelle that contains chlorophyll. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts.
4. A spherical body in a cell that contains many organelles, including the nucleolus. It controls many of the functions of the cell and contains DNA.
5. Small organelles made of RNA
(ribonucleic acid) which is a chemical that makes proteins
6. The thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell but is inside the cell wall. It allows some things to pass into the cell and blocks others.
7. The jelly-like material outside the cell nucleus where organelles are found.
8. A large membrane-bound space within a plant cell that is filled with fluid. It takes up much of the cell and helps maintain the shape of the cell.
9. An organelle inside the nucleus where RNA is made.
