Plant Characteristics
- Photoautotrphs: receive energy from the sun and carbon from CO2
- Chlorophyll: specialized organs that generate sugars from sunlight, CO2 and water
- Immobile
- Rooted producers
- Unlimited growth
Plant Cell Walls
- Rigid cell walls
- Cellulose, Hemicellulose: rigid carbohydrates around outside of plant cell
- Pectin: glues adjacent cells together
- Provides structural support and protection
- Prevents mobility
- Plasmodermata: channels that run through cells
- Allows transport of materials throughout the plant
Practice Plant Cell Biology
Which of the following is used to glue adjacent plant cells together?
