CELL WALL

Composed of substance cellulose which

provides structural strength.

Rigid outer most covering of plant cell.

 PLANT CELL IN HYPERTONIC SOLUTION

 Exosmosis takes place and the cell loses

water
 Protoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall of
a plant cell.This process is known as
plasmolysis.
 Plant cell in hypotonic cell

 Endosmosis takes place and the cell bulges.

 Does not burst due to the turgor pressure
exerted by the cell onto the cell wall .The cell
wall exerts equal pressure onto the cell.
NUCLEUS
 Has double layered covering called nuclear
membrane.
 Nuclear membrane has pore called nuclear
pore for the transfer of materials from inside
to the cytoplasm.
 The matrix of the nucleus is nucleoplasm.
 Darkly stained structure in nucleoplasm is
nucleolus.Ribosomes are synthesised here.
 Entangled mass of thread like structures
present in nucleoplasm is chromatin network
 At the time of cell division,chromatin
network rearrange to form rod-like structure
called chromosomes
 Chromosomes have information for
inheritance of features in the form of DNA.
 Chromosomes are composed of DNA and
protein
 Significance of Nucleus
 Stores the hereditary material,DNA
 Coordinates the cellular activities. So they
are said to be the controlling centre of the
cell
 Manufactures ribosomes
Prokaryotic Cell
 PROKARYOTES

 Generally small (1 – 10 micrometre)

 Lacks nuclear membrane
 Has undefined nuclear region with only nucleic
acid called nucleoid
 Lacks membrane bound organelles like
mitochondria, golgi, ER
 Has single chromosome
 Ex. bacteria
EUKARYOTIC CELL - Plant cell
 Eukaryotic cell
 Generally large in size (5 – 100 micrometre)
 Nuclear membrane present
 Has well defined nuclear region
 Membrane bound organelles are present
 Has more than one chromosomes
 ex,. Plant and animal cell
