A student was asked to make a model of a plant cell. She took a length of tubing made from a substance that allows only water molecules to pass through and enclosed it in a flexible permeable membrane as shown in Fig. 1.1.

(a)

Name the structures found in a plant mesophyll cell that are best represented by the following items used in her model:

the marble ______

(b)

State a structure found in a plant cell that is not represented in the student’s model.

______

1M
(c)

The student then placed her model into a concentrated sugar solution for half an hour.
