Question

Draw a plant cell and label the parts.
A) synthesize food
B) produce energy
C) storehouse of organic substances like protein organic acids.
D) packages material coming from endoplasmic reticulum.
E) determine function and development of cell

Answer 1

Hint: All the living body is made up of cells which perform the metabolic functions. The plant cells are a specialised structure which can prepare their own food by the help of special organelle which is absent in the animal cell. The plant cell also has a cell wall which is absent in the animal cell.

Complete answer:
Plant cell is a basic unit of life in plants. It is a eukaryotic cell which means it is composed of a definite nucleus and has all the membrane bound organelles present in the cell. Each organelle has a specific function. Few important organelles in plant cell are:

A) Chloroplast- These are the organelle which is responsible for preparing food by the process of photosynthesis. This organelle is absent in animals.
B) Mitochondria- It is a membrane bound organelle which is responsible for producing the energy for the cell in the form of ATP. It is also called the powerhouse of the cell.
C) Vacuole- It is responsible for storage of substances in the cell. The substances can include organic acids, proteins etc.
D) Golgi Apparatus: These are the vesicle-like structures involved in sorting and packaging of the proteins and other biomolecules coming from endoplasmic reticulum.
E) Nucleus- It is the most important organelle present in the cell. It determines the structure and functioning of the cell. It is known as the heart of the cell.

The correct answer is:
A) synthesize food- Chloroplast
B) produce energy- Mitochondria
C) Storehouse of organic substance like protein organic acids- Vacuole
D) packages material coming from endoplasmic reticulum- Golgi bodies
E) determine function and development of cell- Nucleus

Note: The other important distinguishing organelle of the plant cell is the large vacuole. It occupies the maximum area of the cell. It stores water and other waste materials. The chloroplast consists of green pigment chlorophyll which is responsible for making food.
