Typical Plant Cell on Stand
A three-dimensional model of a plant cell, designed to show its internal structures as seen under an electron microscope. The model features a portion of the cell wall removed to reveal the ectoplast, endoplast, tonoplast, vacuoles, nuclear structure, plastids, and mitochondria. It also includes a base and a numbered English key card for identification of the different parts.
Size 17 x 13 x 30 cm approx. Weight 480 g approx.
Electron Microscopic Detail: The model accurately represents the structures of a plant cell as seen under an electron microscope.
Cut-Away View: A section of the cell wall is removed to expose internal components.
Key Structures: The model highlights key plant cell structures, including:
- Ectoplast: The outer layer of the cytoplasm.
- Endoplast: The inner portion of the cytoplasm.
- Tonoplast: The membrane surrounding the vacuole.
- Vacuoles: Storage sacs within the cell.
- Nuclear Structure: The nucleus and its components.
- Plastids: Organelles involved in photosynthesis and other functions (e.g., chloroplasts).
- Mitochondria: The "powerhouse" of the cell, producing energy.
Base: The model is mounted on a sturdy base for stability and display.
English Key Card: A numbered key card is included to help identify and study the different parts of the cell.
