What is your first impression ? n What is the plant species ? nThe sepecies are some of the fastest growing plants in the world, as some species are capable of growing 100 cm (39 in) or more per day due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. However, the growth rate is partially dependent on local soil and climatic conditions. nThe individuals are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, South East Asia and East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product.

Life Processes nMovement- the ability to move from one place to another nRespiration – a chemical process that takes place in every living cell nSensitivity – the ability to respond to your environment nNutrition – turning food into energy nExcretion – getting rid of waste products nReproduction – producing offspring nGrowth- becoming larger in size n n Features of Cells nThere are 3 main parts that are common to both plants and Animal Cells. Organise these into the headings: Plant and Animal Cells and plant cells only. Has a Nucleus Has a Cell Wall Has a Cell Membrane Has a Cytoplasm Plant Cells Plant and Animal Cells Has a Vacule Has Cholloroplasts RE-ARRANGE SO THEY ARE IN THE CORRECT COLOMNS What are the functions of the Cell? nCell Wall is made of cellulose – it strengthens and supports the cell nChloroplasts, which contain Chlorophyll, absorb light energy to make food through Photosynthesis. n A Vacuole is filled with cell sap [a sugar and water solution] and it provides rigid support. n What are the functions of the cell? n Cell Membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell nCytoplasm is where all the reactions take place nA Nucleus is like the ‘’brain’’ of the cell and controls the activity of the cell. n THIS APPLIES TO BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS This applies to BOTH types of Cell What do they look like? liver palisade Interactive exercise – written form nGive the function of these parts of a plant cell. nChloroplast nCell wall nVacuole MCj02902490000[1] Cells, Tissues and Organs nA group of similar cells is called a … n A group of afferent tissues form a … nA group of organs working together form a … Key Words: Tissues Organ Organ System Organism Palisade Parenchyma Cells nPalisade Cells are designed for Photosynthesis nTall shape means a lot of surface area exposed down the side for absorbing C02 nGood chance of light hitting the chloroplast before it reaches the bottom of the cell.
