plant cells

• Plant cells


  • Cell wall made of cellulose that provides structure and protection to the cell
  • Vacuole that holds weak solution of sugar and salts called cell sap that keeps the cell swollen
  • Many chloroplasts that are the site of photosynthesis in the cell
  • Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that absorbs the light and specific enzymes required for photosynthesis to occur and food to be produced
• Algal cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose
• Plant cells contain the same features as animal cells
