A green pigment found in chloroplasts that help trap the sun's energy. Examples of eukaryotic cells The amount of water the the tree receives Material that makes up the cell wall of a plant cell. A process that plants use to convert the sun's energy into sugars that the plant can use. how much sun the tree gets Independent variable definition How long the leaves on a tree stay green Dependent variable definition An organelle found in plant cells that capture the sun's energy and convert the light energy into chemical energy. An organelle found in eukaryotic cells that store food, water and waste. Organelles only found in animal cells that break down and digest food particles and worn out cell parts. A rigid layer of cellulose outside the cell membrane, that gives the plant and the cell, structure, and support. Controlled variable definition Organelles found in animal cells that store food, water and waste. An organelle found in plant cells that stores mainly water this helps create pressure that inflates the cell.
