Plantcells :] 

          Although plantcells are variously modified in structure and function, they have many common features. The most distinctive feature is the cellwall and chloroplast . This is one difference between animal cell In the most advanced plants, cells have specialized tissues, which make up organs such as the leaves, stem, and root.

Definitions

Parts of the plantcell

Chlorophyll- A chlorophyll is inside the chloroplat that can use light energy from sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide gas into sugar and oxygen. (A sugar machine)

Nucleus- A nucleus contains genetic information for cells to grow.

Chloroplast- A chloropast contains clorophyll that produce a sugar.

Cell Wall- A tough outer covering that lies just outside the cell membrane.

Cell Membrane- A covering that encloses the inside of each cell protects it.

Mitochondrion- An organelle that burns the sugar making into energy

Nucleolus- an organelle within the nucleus it is where ribosomal RNA is produced.

Golgibody- a flattened layered sac like organelle, near the nucleus. 

Cytoplasm- the jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located.

Smooth ER- a vast system of interconnected membranous infolded and convoluted tubes that are located in the cells cytoplasm.

Vacuole- a large membrane bound space within a plant cell that is filled with fluid.

Nuclear membrane- the membrane that surrounds the nucleus.

 Amylosplast- an organelle in some plant cells that stores starch.

 Centrosome- a small body located near the nucleus, it has a dense center and radiating tubules.

 Ribosome- small organelles composed of RNA, rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis  

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Photosynthesis

              Here is the chemical equation describing the reaction of photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy -->  6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

 Photosynthesis is the process in which plants convert sunlight, water,and carbon dioxide into food energy oxygen and water. Photosynthesis can be technically defined as the manufacture of food, mainly sugar from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll and light energy,releasing oxygen gas. This process of photosynthesis has undergone intensive research for many years but even today with the sophisticated level of scientific insight, there are still many steps of photosynthesis that remain mysteries.  

Cellular Respiration

       Cellular Respiration is the process in which cells use oxygen to release energy stored inn sugars. The energy released  is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy consuming activities of the cell.Green plants is a good example for both cellular respiration and photosynthesis

           Here is the chemical equation for cellular respiration 

6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ -->  6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy

Animal vs. Plant cells 

                                                              Differences: Plant cells have cell wall and chloroplast

                                       Similarities: both have nucleus, mitochondria, and a cell membrane 

     Both animal and plant cells have some similar and diferent structural elements. First off they are both in the

 domain eukarya {which  means they have a defined nucleus}. The nucleus contains  chromosomes. It is protected and surrounded by the cytoplasm, {which is a watery or gel-like liquid}.  Animal and plant cells have a cell membrane that surrounds the cell. This allows for the cell to exert control, in most cases, over what can penetrate the cell. An animal cell does not have chloroplast, which help the sugars in the plant cell
