Plant Cells
Observe: Describe at least 3 things you notice about this plant cell under a microscope. Wonder: What is one question you have based on your observations?

6 Kingdoms of Life
All forms of life are made up of a basic unit called cells. In this lesson, we’ll focus on the cells that make up plants.

Select one of the plant cells.
Plant cells under a microscope
Whether it’s a tree, a vegetable plant, or a cactus, all plants have cells that work together to help the plant grow, absorb sunlight, produce food, and support the overall structure of the plant.

Build Model of a Plant Cell
Within a cell, there are many tiny parts, each playing a crucial role in keeping the cell functioning properly. Let’s build a model of a plant cell to better understand these parts.

Add Cell Wall
First up, we need a cell wall. The cell wall provides structure and protection, helping the plant stand tall.

Next, let’s add the cell membrane. It sits just inside the cell wall and controls what enters and exits the cell, allowing nutrients in, keeping harmful substances out, and maintaining the balance needed for the cell to survive.

Now it's time to add the organelles—specialized structures within the cell that perform specific functions. Let's start with the nucleus, the control center of the cell, which houses the DNA and directs all the cell’s activities.

Next, let’s add the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts use energy from sunlight to make glucose, a type of sugar, through the process of photosynthesis.

Next, let’s add the mitochondria. Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion), known as the powerhouses of the cell, convert glucose made in chloroplasts into ATP, the energy the cell needs to function.

Now, let’s add the vacuole. The vacuole is the storage tank of the cell, holding water, nutrients, and waste. In plant cells, it helps keep the cell firm.

Now, let’s add the ribosomes. Ribosomes are tiny factories in the cell that follow instructions from the cell’s DNA to build proteins, which are essential for the cell to function and stay healthy.

Add Endoplasmic Reticulum
Next, let’s add the endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has two parts: the rough ER, which has ribosomes and serves as passageways to transport proteins where they’re needed in the cell, and the smooth ER, which makes lipids and breaks down toxins.

Add Golgi Apparatus
Now, let’s add the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi apparatus is like the cell’s post office—it packages and ships proteins and lipids to where they need to go, either inside or outside the cell.
