Plants and Photosynthesis

The cell wall protects the plant cell. The cell wall is strong. Inside the cell wall is the cell membrane . The cell membrane is thin. The job of the cell membrane is to guard what enters and leaves the cell.

Chloroplasts are what make plants green. They turn carbon dioxide , sunlight, and water into sugar. Sugar is energy for the plant.

The mitochondria take the sugar and turns it into energy. If there is only one, it is called a "mitochondrion ."

The nucleus is like the brain of the cell. It tells all of the organelles what to do.

The cytoplasm is like jelly inside the cell. It holds all of the organelles in place.

La pared celular protege a la célula. La pared celular es fuerte. Dentro del pared celular es la membrana de la célula. La membrana de la célula es delgada. El trabajo de la membrana celular es guardar que entra y sale de la célula. Chloroplasts son lo que hace verde la planta. Ellos cambian carbon dioxide, la luz del sol, y agua a azucar. Azucar es energía para la planta. Mitochondria toman la azucar y la cambia a energía. Si hay solamente una se llama una mitochondrion. El núcleo es como el cerebro de la célula. Da ordenes a todos los organelles. La cytoplasm es como gelatina dentro de la célula. Contiene todas las organelles.
