Botany-Exam (correct answers)
Eukaryotic Cell correct answers the cells found in plants, animals, and fungi, contain
organelles, larger
Organelles correct answers divide labor in cell, each have a specific function
Nucleus correct answers where DNA/chromosomes are found, responsible for DNA
storage and RNA synthesis
Vacuole correct answers storing materials that may be needed later and absorbing
toxins
Chloroplasts correct answers photosynthesis
Cytoplasm correct answers all organelles inside except nucleus
Cytoplasmic streaming correct answers movement of organelles inside the cell
Cell Wall correct answers fiber-based structure surrounding the plant cell
Cell Membrane correct answers just inside the cell wall it controls the flow of materials
in and out of the cell
Dissecting scope correct answers enlarges things too big to put under a slide
Compound microscope correct answers enlarges objects too small to see with the
human eye
Meristem tissue correct answers source of new cells that build a plant
Dermal tissues correct answers protect the plant like skin
