Highlights
Introduction to plant cell as the functional basic unit of plants.
The plant cell wall functions as a support skeleton and natural barrier against infections.
Plant cell wall is composed of cellulose, complex polysaccharides, and proteins, designed to withstand high osmotic pressure.
The plasma membrane is selectively permeable, regulating nutrient and mineral transport.
The cytoplasm contains cytosol, cytoskeleton, and organelles, crucial for cellular functions.
The nucleus stores genetic information and is responsible for DNA replication and RNA transcription.
The nucleolus produces and assembles ribosomes, vital for protein synthesis.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is classified into rough and smooth ER, responsible for protein and lipid synthesis.
The Golgi apparatus sorts, packages, and modifies proteins for transport, also synthesizing polysaccharides for the cell wall.
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, enabling photosynthesis and producing oxygen and sugars.
Amyloplasts store starch, an essential polysaccharide for plant cells.
Mitochondria provide energy for the plant cell's biochemical reactions.
Peroxisomes degrade dangerous peroxides, protecting the cell's compartments.
Plant cells have large vacuoles that maintain turgor pressure, digest waste, and contribute to stability.
The cytoskeleton, made of microtubules and actin filaments, supports the cell's shape and movement of organelles.
Transcripts
in Cell Biology one distinguishes
between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
one type of eukaryotic cell and the
functional basic unit of plants is the
plant cell
there are a lot of important components
within the plant cell which fulfill
diverse functions but before we come to
that please subscribe to the channel it
is for free but helps me a lot with a
monthly subscription you can also become
a member of this chatter now please use
this form of support only if you have
enough money to spend one of the various
distinct features of the plant cell is
found around the cell itself the cell
wall this structure functions as a
support skeleton and determines the
shape of the cell further the cell wall
is a well-suited natural barrier against
infections of fungi the cell wall is
composed of cellulose embedded in a net
with other complex polysaccharides and
proteins the plant cell wall is a strong
structure that needs to be sufficient to
withstand the high osmotic pressure that
is present inside the cell as for all
eukaryotic cells plant cells also
possess a plasma membrane this structure
out of lipids is selectively permeable
certain molecules can pass through and
others cannot enter or exit the main
function of the plasma membrane is to
regulate nutrient and mineral transport
inside the plasma membrane lies the
cytoplasm cytoplasm is described as the
totality of both cytosol a liquid
containing the nutrients the
cytoskeleton and the organelles of a
cell among these the nucleus might be
one of the most well-known cell
compartments the nucleus stores the
majority of the genetic information
packed in DNA within the nucleus
important processes take place
replication to duplicate DNA and
transcription to generate RNA there is
another structure located inside the
nucleus the nucleolus one among the
functions is the production and assembly
of the important ribosomes which will be
mentioned again in a minute the membrane
of the nucleus is connected to a
membrane of in another cell organelle
this is the so-called endoplasmic
reticulum abbreviated with ER one
distinguishes between the rough ER that
has its granular structure because it is
partly coated with ribosomes and there
is the smooth ER there are of course
also free ribosomes in the cytoplasm a
rough ER protein synthesis but also
protein modification and preparation for
their transport take place at the smooth
ER proteins are also modified in
addition lipid synthesis occurs here the
newly synthesized or modified proteins
need to be transported to their point of
destination this is one of many
functions that is overtaken by the Golgi
apparatus here proteins that come from
the rough ER are taken up the proteins
are sorted packaged and sent to their
respective location at the Golgi the
proteins might also be modified further
glycosylation for example may take place
here the iconic plant cell wall also
relies on the Golgi polysaccharides are
synthesized here the secret of a Leaf's
green color lies in chlorophyll this is
found in an organelle named the
chloroplast photosynthesis is a feature
that makes plant cells so special inside
the chloroplasts is where the magic
happens sunlight water and carbon
dioxide are used to produce energy in
form of sugars and indirectly oxygen is
produced which may be the most important
byproduct for us humans some plant cells
also possess a different type of plastic
the amuloplast is responsible for the
storage of starch an important
polysaccharide
mitochondria are the PowerHouse of the
cell sounds familiar but why these
organelles provide the energy needed to
power the cell's biochemical reactions
peroxisomes are organelles that can
accumulate and degrade peroxides that
can be dangerous to other cell
compartments
hydrogen peroxide for instance is an
unavoidable byproduct of biochemical
reactions
plant cells have a gigantic permanent
vacuole that can take up to 90 percent
of the total cell volume in Plants this
special organelle is water-filled volume
surrounded by a membrane known as the
tonoplast the vacuole has a whole bunch
of different functions it maintains the
internal pressure called turgor and
contributes to the cell's total
stability it is also seen as a large
trash can that can digest waste inside
the cell last but not least one should
mention this cytoskeleton in Plants the
cytoskeleton is mainly composed of
microtubules and actin filaments the
cytoskeleton contributes to the cell's
shape and to the organization and
movement of the organelles inside
