Cell biology: Parts of the cell, Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells.
The Eukaryotic cells are those that have their genetic material within a nucleus. There are three basic types of eukaryotic cells based on their structure: plant cells, animal cells, and fungal cells.
Some of the distinct characteristics of plant cells are:
• The presence of a, cell wall ,composed of ,cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin,, gives extra protection and support to the cell, and it helps to maintain the shape of the cell.
,• Special pathways of communication are called ,plasmodesmata,, which go through the cell wall.
,• A large central, vacuole,, that serves as, storage, of water and other substances.
• Chloroplasts,, ,produce sugars, using the carbon dioxide available and the energy of sunlight.
They also have other structures common to all eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria and Golgi apparatus.
Now let's compare this information to the statements:
• Statements a ,and ,b, are, false ,because is the chloroplast that makes sugar using sunlight
,• Statement c is true,, because the vacuole stores many substances, and plant cells also have mitochondria to break down sugar.
,• Statement d is true, because plants and animal cells are two types of eukaryotic cells, and this means they have a nucleus.
