Document Summary

Biob38h3 lecture 2: plant cells and physiology. Most plant cells have a large vacuole. Plants have cell walls so they are able to stay in one place; to be rigid, stable. The larger molecules go through transport proteins by active transport in the plasma membrane: plastids: Chromoplasts- have pigments of yellow, orange, blue, etc. to attract pollinators and animals. Chloroplasts- site of photosynthesis by their chlorophyll (green pigment) that absorbs photons of light. Note: most cells are actually clear or white looking, not coloured unless they have pigments: internal membranes: rough er, golgi apparatus, mitochondria: the energy factories of the cell that carry out the. Krebs cycle in the fluid filled matrix: primary cell wall: thatched proteins and cellulose like a plant skeleton. Pectin allows rigidity but flexibility: secondary cell wall: waterproof, sits over the primary cell wall towards to outside of the plant. Lignin allows for strength, not flexible though.
