Plant+Cell

Cell Theory came about in 1839 with Matthias Schleiden when he described cells as the building blocks for all living organisms. Another paper followed written by Theodor Schwann in 1839 also indicating this. In 1880 Eduard Strasburger drew a living plant cell dividing. These observations lead to Cell Theory as we know it today. THE CELL THEORY :__** Life Functions: Excretion, Growth, Respiration, Digestion, Reproduction, Regulation, Metabolism, Circulation
 * __
 * 1. all living things are made up of cells & the products of those cells **
 * 2. all cells carry out their own life functions **
 * 3. new cells come from other living cells **

** [|Cells Alive] PLANT CELLS - Eukaryotic **



Chromatin - DNA-Protein Complex

Golgi Body - synthesis and secretion of polysaccharides

Chloroplast - Site of Photosynthesis Granum (Grana) - stacked thyalkoid membranes Stroma - fluid matrix surrounding the thylakoids Thylakoid - Membrane found in the chloroplast

Intercellular air space - gap between cells Middle lamella - protein rich cement between adjacent plant cell walls Primary Cell Wall - earliest created cell walls - usually thin - found in young growing cells Secondary Cell Wall - Formed in older cells as part of the differentiation process

Oleosome - Oil lipid storage (seeds)

Tonoplast - Membrane surrounding the Vacuole
