1. Plant Organisation Levels

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Plant cell: the basic unit of structure and function in plants

★ Must-know

  • Plant organisation is described in four levels:
    • cells
    • tissues
    • organs
    • systems

Further detail

  • Plant cell organisation relates cells to tissues, tissues to organs, and organs to systems.

Memory Hook

Cells → tissues → organs → systems

2. Plant Cell Components

★ Must-know

  • The main listed parts of a plant cell are:

    • the plant cell wall
    • the cell membrane
    • the nucleus
    • the cytoplasm
    • the large vacuole
    • the chloroplast
    • the mitochondrion
    • the endoplasmic reticulum
    • the Golgi apparatus
    • the ribosome
  • The plant cell is made up of different parts that work together to help the plant live and grow.

Further detail

  • The plant cell has many parts, and each part has a specific function.
