The mitochondria would be like the powerhouse. \nIn plant cells, chloroplasts perform photosynthesis (energy production).\n\nThe chromosomes contain the DNA, which is all the genetic information, so that could be compared to blueprints, a library, etc. \n\nVacuoles maintain homestasis so they help to protect, do maintenance, etc. \n\nGolgi bodies sort proteins, so they work to categorize, arrange, etc. \n\nthe E.R. fold proteins and lipids, making them like builders.\n\nThe cell membrane is the cell's protection, or security. \n\nLysosomes break down molecules, so they help clean up. \n\nHope theses ideas help you find the right direction.

a chloroplast contains chlorophyll which is needed for the plant to photosynthesise, or make food. the chloroplasts are only found in plants, as we do not need to make any food... we take our food from the surroundings.

This is precisely the role of choloroplasts. The light energy is absorbed by chlorophyl and ultimately transferred to ADP to create ATP in a series of chemical reactions. This process is very indirect. It involves the transfer of an electron to the activated chlorophyll molecules that induces the flow of electrons and H+ across the thylakoid membrane. A chemiosmotic potential is generated by the flow of electrons and H+ providing energy to drive the formation of ATP from ADP.

ALL ESTIMATES ARE ROUGHLY\nOil\nSpent in USA\n$100-150 billion every year on crude oil\nUsed in USA\n60 billion gallons of petroleum diesel\n120 billion gallons of gasoline\n\nBiodiesel\n\nTo grow the "feedstocks"\n$80,000 per hectare for algal ponds\n3.85 million hectares of algae ponds would be need to replace all petroleum transportation fuels with biodiesel\n$308 Billion just to build the farms\n\nOperating cost\n$12,000 per hectare\n$46.2 billion per year to yield all the oil feedstock necessary for the entire country\n\nI will add more fuel later must go watch TV now\n***EDIT***\nOk I am back, it turn out that makeing ethanol and biodiesel are around the exact same cost.  But I doubt that they will ever be a realistic source of fuel.\n\n I found this and thought you might find it interesting\n""...but producing ethanol or biodiesel from plant biomass is going down the wrong road, because you use more energy to produce these fuels than you get out from the combustion of these products.""\n\nStudies done everywhere show that cost and disposal of the bi-products are going to be a problem, plus energy wise its just not worth it.  They are working on these problems trying to figure something out to make it more feasible.\n\nIn terms of energy output compared with energy input for ethanol production, the study found that: \n\ncorn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; \nswitch grass requires 45 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced; and \nwood biomass requires 57 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced. \n\nIn terms of energy output compared with the energy input for biodiesel production, the study found that: \n\nsoybean plants requires 27 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced, and \nsunflower plants requires 118 percent more fossil energy than the fuel produced.

vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth. Many plant cells have a large, single central vacuole that typically takes up most of the room in the cell (80 percent or more). Vacuoles in animal cells, however, tend to be much smaller, and are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances.\n\nBecause the central vacuole is highly selective in transporting materials through its membrane, the chemical palette of the vacuole solution (termed the cell sap) differs markedly from that of the surrounding cytoplasm. For instance, some vacuoles contain pigments that give certain flowers their characteristic colors. The central vacuole also contains plant wastes that taste bitter to insects and animals, while developing seed cells use the central vacuole as a repository for protein storage.\n\nAmong its roles in plant cell function, the central vacuole stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, pigments, helps in plant growth, and plays an important structural role for the plant. Under optimal conditions, the vacuoles are filled with water to the point that they exert a significant pressure against the cell wall. This helps maintain the structural integrity of the plant, along with the support from the cell wall, and enables the plant cell to grow much larger without having to synthesize new cytoplasm. In most cases, the plant cytoplasm is confined to a thin layer positioned between the plasma membrane and the tonoplast, yielding a large ratio of membrane surface to cytoplasm.\n\nThere are more important functions of central vacuole but i guess the functions above are enough for you to understand its role.\n\n:)

Chloroplasts are organelles found in plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis. Chloroplasts capture light energy from the sun to produce the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH through a process called photosynthesis.\n\nPhotosynthesis is an important biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert the energy of sunlight to chemical energy. The chemical energy is used to drive synthetic reactions such as the formation of sugars or the fixation of nitrogen into amino acids, the building blocks for protein synthesis.

RED TIDE:\nNot every plant poisoning is caused by a large, terrestrial plant. Several microscopic marine algae are notoriously poisonous to hapless humans who consume them in shellfish. \nThese Algae are tiny, single-celled plants that, like plants on land, capture and use the sun's energy to grow. The growth of algae is an essential life process, as it is the first step in transferring solar energy into aquatic food webs. The huge variety of marine algae are typically subject to annual cycles of growth & decay. These organisms thrive and multiply principally during the spring and summer, in response to increased light intensity and favourable levels of salinity & nutrients in ocean water. During the growth period, or bloom, each single algae cell may replicate itself one million times in two to three weeks.\n\nDuring the reproductive riot of the bloom, warm, shallow seawater tends to become discoloured by the sheer concentration of algae seeking the sunlight. This discolouration is a result of the various pigments the plants use to trap sunlight; depending on the species of algae present, the water may reflect pink, violet, orange, yellow, blue, green, brown, or red. Since red is the most common pigment, the phenomenon has come to be called Red Tide.\n\n\n2)DIVISIONS\nThe fungi kingdom is broken down into four phylums, the chytrids, zygote fungi, ascomycota, and basidium. The phylums are such:\n\nChytrids: Most scientifically inclined people assume that all the fungi were derived from an algal ancestor who lost its ability to photosynthesize. This then turned into to the flagellate fungi. A fungal ancestor then gave rise to the rest of the fungi, and usually this ancestor was assumed to be a member of the Chytridiomycota, a phylum which produced posteriorly, uniflagellated zoospores. The chytridomycota(chytrid) have the basic fungi key enzymes, cell walls made of chytin, and metabolic pathways that resemble the fungi's. They seem like the outcast of the fungi world, and are fungi because they are sort of like the rest of the fungi classes. \n\nZygote Fungi: Zygote fungi are terrestrial, which means they live only on land, usually on soil or decaying plants. One group of zygote fungi that live in the roots of plants is mycorrhizae. Another common zygote fungi is teh black bread mold, which absorb the bread's nutrients by spreading out on it, and extending hyphea in it. Zygote fungi have sporangia, which develop at the tips of hyphea. Haploid spores grow in the sporangium, and then are dispersed through the air. The reproduction will be talked about more extensivly in that section. Some zygote fungi can aim thier spores, and the picture on the left shows the spore being thrown by its sporangium at grass. \n\nAscomycota: Otherwise known as sac fungi, they can be aqueous, as well as terrestrial. The features that are importaint about this division is that they produce sexual spores in saclike asci. They reproduce asexually and disperse spores in the wind. They have a very long dikaryotic stage, in which they deveilop asci. \n\nBasidium: These are also known as club fungi, which have club-like tops. Typical mushrooms are an example of the club-like reproductive site. They decompose wood, and other plant material. The basidium have fruiting bodys called basidiocarps, which are the source of sexual spores. They sometimes attract flies

I think of utmost importance would be the production of grasses, which includes corn, wheat, barley, oats, etc.  Of secondmost importance would then be the ruminants such as cows which live off grass and provide the human world with most of its meat.  Thirdly would be the myriad species which are not cows which eat the grasses and seeds derived therefrom, which are in turn eaten by other animals...\n\nAdditionally, the presence of the grasses provides an anchor for water in the soil, which (as was learned in the dust-bowl of the 1930's American midwest) prevents soil erosion and drought.
