Plant+Cells+-+JR

= Introduction = We take plants for granite but inside of their cells is far beyond we can see, plant cells have been there for so long it is just to small to see. Cells are one of the smallest thing on the planet. Plants help us with almost everything, they keep us alive! I mean who wouldn't want to be alive. the next thing i am gonna ask you is have you ever looked inside of a microscope, and looked at a plant cell, im pretty sure it will be one of the coolest things you have ever seen, it looks like a million little rectangles with curved edges, but when you look back at the structure without the microscope it looks completely different.

= How do plants help us =

How do plants help us? Plants help us because they generate light energy producing food, animals eat plants as food too, like cows which produce milk, which produces ice cream and who doesn't like ice cream, besides lactose intolerant. can you think of a way plants help us? If you can't i'm here to help, plants produce gas (oxygen) which keeps us alive, also did you notice how beautiful plants are? they make your yard look pretty, and that will make you or your mom happy from having a colorful yard. There is a function in a plant cell that looks like a golf ball it is called the nucleus. the nucleus is the ¨boss¨ of the cell it tells everything what to do and when to do it.

= Why are plants important = = =

= = Why are plants important? Plants provide habitats for animals and insects. a tree is a plants right? (obviously) tree provide wood for homes and camp fires, and tree sap which provides syrup and what do you put syrup on people!! Pancakes!! C'mon everybody loves pancakes but if you don't like pancakes then you haven't lived life yet!! Anyway, plants provide the types of fuel we use today, such as coal, **natural gas**, and gasoline, were made from plants.

Natural gas- a flammable gas, often with **petroleum**

Petroleum- a type of oil = =

= = = Do plants get cancer =

Do plants cells get cancer? Yes they can get cancer, they get cancer when uncontrolled cell division that can spread forming tissues forming a tumor. Yah I know this sounds weird, but have you ever seen a plant with a knot in it or a twist in the branches of it here is a picture too show you what plant cancer looks like. = = But plant cancer is different than human cancer or at least a little different from human cancer, the cancer forms a **tumor**, but a different tumor

Tumor- it forms when your growth is abnormal, and a swelling part of the body = = media type="youtube" key="LqkQry_T4yc" width="492" height="276" = = = Can plants provide habitats = = = Primary habitat for thousands of other organisms is, Animals live in, on, or under plants, As a habitat, plants alter the climate. Plants provide shade, help moderate the temperature, and protect animals from the wind. I n tropical rainforests, plants actually change the rainfall patterns over large areas of the earth's surface.

= = = = = Conclusion =

conclusion: Like I said before plants help us because they keep us alive by producing a gas called oxygen, and they feed our animals, I also said that are plants important yes they are because like I said before that make food for us and make our yard look pretty, I also said that do plants get cancer yes they do not how we humans get it but when the plant gets cancer it forms a knot in the tree, but i'm gonna say a little song before I go……

Plant cells, Plant cells, made of a cell wall, keeps it all together so the organelles don't fall….

(cell wall holds the cell together)

You can find me in the lab with a pen and a pad i'm the mad scientist but i ain't made checkin’ out my scope, lookin’ at some cells, tryin’ to teach these kids about the organelles!!!! (microphone drops)
