Cell Wall
Definition
the rigid, porous outer layer of a plant cell.
Term
Centriole
Definition
a bundle of microtubules that help organize the movement of chromosomes during cell division.
Term
Chloroplast
Definition
an organelle that converts the radiant energy of the Sun into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis
Term
Cytoplasm
Definition
a jelly-like substance, composed mainly of water, occupying most of the space between the cell membrane and nucleus.
Term

small structure that can store food (leucoplast) or pigment (chromoplast).
Term
Ribosome
Definition
tiny structure where protiens are synthesized.
Term
