    This document contains a student's answers to review questions about plant and prokaryotic cell structures. The student labels and compares the parts of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. They also explain how turgor pressure allows plant cells to remain rigid and how it can be restored in limp vegetables. The student distinguishes between diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and active transport. Finally, they describe the different types of plastids found in plant cells and their functions.

    3. Why do carrot and celery sticks become limp over time? How could they be made crisp once more?
    Explain your answers in terms of turgor pressure. Answer should not exceed 10 sentences.

    Answer:

    We know carrot and celery is a plant, now, plants cells contain a cell wall. This cell wall is part of what gives
    plants such a rigid and sturdy structure.  Plant cells need a certain amount of pressure to make sure that the
    cell wall stays rigid. Pressure from fluid within the cell pushing against the cell wall is called turgor pressure.
    When a cell wall cannot withstand the pressure it is most likely to be destroyed making the plants go limp. 
    To restore the limp vegetable Cut off and discard a small piece from the bottom of the carrot and celery
    and add them to a bowl filled with lukewarm water and refrigerate. Just let them stay hydrated and your
    carrots and celery sticks will be good in no time.

    4. What would be the fate of a plant cell that possessed a plasma membrane but not a cell wall? Why?
    Answer should not exceed 10 sentences.

    Answer:

    A plant cell will encounter problems in the outside wall or also the inside wall of the plasma membrane
    because the plasma membrane is a delicate thin layer of wall. Its purpose is not to keep the inside of the cell
    safe but it only allows small molecules to enter. A cell wall is an essential part of a plant cell. Cell wall serves
    many important functions. One of these important functions is withstanding the internal turgor pressure. Now,
    if you remove a cell wall from a plant cell the cell membrane will burst and the cell will lose all of its contents
    because of the turgor pressure.
    5. Distinguish between diffusion and osmosis and between facilitated diffusion and active transport. Answer
    should not exceed 15 sentences.

    Answer:

    Although both the processes share many common properties, they are contrasting in some aspects. The
    distinction between diffusion and osmosis is that both solvent and solute particles are free to move in
    diffusion, on the other hand in osmosis, only the solvent molecules or the water molecules cross the
    membrane. 

    The difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport is that facilitated diffusion is the transport of
    molecules across the plasma membrane from higher concentration to a lower concentration by means of
    transmembrane proteins. Active transport is the transport of molecules across the plasma membrane from
    low concentration to a higher concentration by means of transmembrane proteins, using ATP energy.

    6. What are the functions of plastids? Describe the different types of plastids and determine the functions of
    each. Answer should not exceed 15 sentences. The videos below may provide aid in answering this
    question.

    Answer:

    Plastids are double-membrane organelle which is found in the cells of plants and algae. Plastids are
    responsible for converting lights into glucose compounds, also a part of the photosynthesis process, provides
    oxygen supply, stocks starch grains, utilizes carbon dioxide, manufacturing and storing of food.

    There are mainly three types of plastids namely Leucoplasts, Chromoplasts, and Chloroplasts. Each of these
    types of plastids has different functions. First is the Chloroplasts, this are biconvex shaped, semi-porous,
    double membraned, cell organelle found within the mesophyll of the plant cell. They are the sites for
    synthesizing food by the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts convert into chromoplasts. Chromoplasts
    have carotenoid pigments that allow different colors that you see in leaves and fruits. And lastly, the
    leucoplasts, these are colorless plastids found in the storage organs. They store starch grains, proteins, and
    lipids.
