Plant cell

• Plant cell has a regular shape
• Cell wall

  • Made from cellulose
  • Gives strength and support
  • Prevent the cell from bursting
  • helps keep it shape and stay turgid
• Vacuole:

  • contains a sap (water with dissolved salts and sugars)
  • Keep the cell(provide turgor pressure)
  • Where the vacuole press outwards on the cytoplasm and cell wall
• Cell membrane

  • made from proteins and lipids
  • Act as a barrier
  • Keep the cell contents inside
  • Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell
• Nucleus

  • contains the genetic material
  • Control cell activities
  • Control cell division
  • Located at the edge
• Ribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, site of protein synthesis
• Endoplasmic reticulum attached to ribosomes, site of protein synthesis
• Chloroplasts

  • Contains chlorophyll
  • Which absorbs light energy to carry photosynthesis
• Cytoplasm: site of chemical reaction
• Mitochondria is the site of aerobic respiration
