Plant cells

• Plant cell


  Differs from animal cell in regular shape, packed with green structures (chloroplasts)
• Plant cell


  • Contains nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes
  • Contains chloroplasts, cell wall, permanent vacuole
• Chloroplasts


  Green structures in plant cells that contain chlorophyll and are sites of photosynthesis
• Cell wall


  Made from cellulose, strengthens the plant cell
• Vacuole


  Large permanent structure in plant cells, filled with cell sap, helps give the cell its shape
• Plant cells are eukaryotes, like animal cells
• Nucleus contains genetic material
• Cytoplasm is where chemical reactions take place
• Cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell
• Mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration
• Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis
• Algae cells


  • Also have cellulose cell wall
