Download Plant Cell - Structure and Function of Plants - Lecture Notes and more Study notes Biology in PDF only on Docsity! The Plant Cell 1. Components of a Eukaryotic Plant Cell 2. Plant Structure 3. Review evolutionary relationships among major phyla – this figure is not in the sixth edition of Raven. 4. Endosymbiont Theory 5. Cell vs. Organismal Theory a. Cell 1) Body is an aggregate of individual cells, 2) Function is the sum of the activity of cells b. Organismal 1) whole organism of prime importance, 2 view the whole organism as a continuous mass of protoplasm, 3) through the course of evolution the organism becomes more subdivided into cells. 6. Cell Walls and Cellular interconnectivity – further evidence that the plant is an organism rather than just a group of independently living cells  Primary wall  Plasmodesmata and pit fields  Middle lamella 7. Cell Division in plants has been taken as evidence of organismal theory  Phragmoplast in cell division 8. Review of the plant cell and structures more or less unique to plants a. Cell wall, chloroplasts, tonoplast/vacuole, phragmoplast. 9. Specific discussion of plastids (chloroplasts, leucoplasts, amyloplasts, and leucoplasts) 10. Cell Walls – the skeleton 11. Intracellular oddities… 12. Examples of what can be done with a cell wall – shape and function 13. Conclusions – • Mostly a review of intro biology Docsity.com
