📚 Quick Recap

🎯 What you'll practice: Chloroplasts, cell walls, vacuoles, and plasmodesmata — the structures unique to plant cells.

🧮 Section B · Problem Solving ● INTERMEDIATE 2 + 3×3 = 11

5Chloroplasts, like mitochondria, have their own .

6Centrioles are found in cells, not plant cells.

7Name the two components of the plant cell wall.

8What is turgor pressure, and which organelle creates it?

9List four structures found in plant cells but not animal cells.

🚀 Section C · Challenge ● CHALLENGE 5

10A wilting plant regains its rigid shape after watering. Explain this using the central vacuole and turgor pressure.

1-B 2-B 3-C 4-B | 5 = DNA 6 = animal 7 = cellulose (primary) and lignin (secondary) 8 = turgor pressure is the outward push of water inside the central vacuole against the cell wall, which keeps the cell rigid; the central vacuole creates it 9 = chloroplasts, cell wall, large central vacuole, plasmodesmata | 10 = When watered, water moves into the cell by osmosis and fills the central vacuole, increasing internal pressure (turgor pressure) that pushes the cell membrane against the rigid cell wall, restoring the cell's — and therefore the plant's — firm, upright shape; without enough water, the vacuole shrinks, turgor pressure drops, and the plant wilts.
