Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 2 – Cell structure & the cell cycle

  2. Plant Cells

  3. What distinguishes plant cells? • Plastids (chloroplasts, etc.) • Cell wall • Large central vacuole • Plant cell specific connections

  4. Where are the chloroplasts? • Plastids • Chloroplasts • Leucoplasts • Amylopasts • Elaioplasts (niyb)

  5. Plastids - Chromoplasts

  6. Chloroplasts, mitochondria and endosymbiosis

  7. Chloroplast Genome • Circular DNA molecule • Replicate independently • Sequence characteristics resembles that of bacteria

  8. Paramecium with endosymbiont Chlorella

  9. Plant cell walls • Primary cell walls • Secondary cell walls -for structural support

  10. Cell walls • Pectins (proteins) and hemicelluloses (carbohydrates) link cellulose molecules together

  11. Cell Walls • Lignin strengthens & waterproofs secondary cell walls

  12. Plant cell connections • Middle lamella (pectins) hold cells together • Bordered pits speed water and solute diffusion through cells with secondary cell walls

  13. Bordered pits

  14. Plant cell connections • Plasmodesmata provide cytoplasmic connections between cells

  15. Plasmodesmata

  16. Cytoskeleton • Microtubules • Microfilaments • Motor proteins (walking molecules)

  17. Movement in plant cells and the cytoskeleton

  18. Plant cell research • Plasmodesmata
