Describe a plant cell plastic other than the chloroplast?
Another plant cell plastid other than the chloroplast is the amyloplast. Amyloplasts are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules. They also convert this starch back into sugar when the plant needs energy.
Outermost layer of a plant cell contains pectin?
the cell wall
Why are organelles necessary to a plant cell but not an animal cell?
Plastids. They are important because of their numerous functions. Chloroplasts contains a green pigment and perform majority of photosynthesis. Chromoplast contains yellow or orange carotenoids and also performs photosynthesis. Leukoplasts become specialized storage for starch, lipid, or protein. The large central vacuole in plant cell is what keeps the turgor pressure and allows the plant to rise. The cell wall composed of cellulose is what protects the plant from much of its harms.
What is the difference between plant cell and animal cells?
an animal cell contains a nucleus as does the plant cell. the plant cell contains a cell wall but the animal cell contains a cell membrane. they bothe have the same purpose to protect the inner layer of the cells. a plant cell has a vacoule which is a storage area for cytoplasm and an animal cell does not. a plant cell also contains chloroplast which is a pigment to give the plant cells its green color.
Where would you expect to find cellulose in a palisade cell?
the cytoplasm area
What does the starch grains do in the plant cell?
starch grains store food for plant cell .the starch grain just re-produces on and on. but like the Amyloplast, amyloplast gives away starch grain in its cell.
What is the colour for a plant cell's starch grains?
what is the color of the starch grain
What is the functions of the starch in a plant cell?
The starch grains mainly contain starch which is produced from photosynthesis
Where is starch made in the plant cell?
cellulose
Where in the plant cell is carbohydrates stored?
starch
What does a starch contains?
A STARCH is a bigger form of glucose.glucose is the product when the plant make food.
Which part of the plant cell has starch?
Iodine binds to starch and would be primarily used to stain plant cells. The organelles that would be stained darkest would be the nucleus, amyloplast, which store starches, and chloroplasts which produce it.
How does a starch grain function in a chloroplast?
starch grains store food for plant cell .the starch grain just re-produces on and on. but like the Amyloplast, amyloplast gives away starch grain in its cell.
What part of a cell contains starch particles?
the beep
What does the seed of a plant contain to form a new plant?
It contains starch which was stored there by the plant it was dispersed by.. .
Why do you eat roots of the plant?
Some plants store starch in the roots for the young plant and since it contains alot of starch we eat it.
What characteristic of a plant cell is absent in an animal cell?
a cell wall is absent in a plant cell and cell sap is also not there in animal cell ,starch grains
