cell membrane - the thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell, but is inside the cell wall.
cell wall - a thick, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell.
amyloplast - an organelle in some plant cells that stores starch.
Golgi body - (also called the golgi apparatus or golgi complex) a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus.
mitochondrion - spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane.
photosynthesis - a process in which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food energy (sugars and starches), oxygen and water.
vacuole - a large, membrane-bound space within a plant cell that is filled with fluid.
nuclear membrane - the membrane that surrounds the nucleus.
nucleus - spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus.

Questions:

- What is the process in which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food energy, oxygen and water?

- What is the large, membrane-bound space within a plant cell that is filled with fluid?

- What part has a think, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell?

***vacuole
- What part has a think, rigid membrane that surrounds a plant cell?
***the cell wall

ok so im done! let me know how i did...see you in class.

I actually learned something.

Q1. photosynthesis
Q2. Nucleolus
Q3. Cell wall


Thanks for the info.

i think for the number one is photosynthesis, and number two is cellular respiration and the last one is cell membrane ..^^ i like your picture,, that looks cute ~!!
