4. Plant Transport Processes

📖 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.

📖 3. Cell Wall Functions

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Plant cell wall : gives support and protection to the cell
