May 17, 2023 · A plant cell is the basic building block of a plant. Plant cells, like all eukaryotic cells, contain a nucleus and other organelles, each with its distinct functions. However, plant cells also possess unique components that differentiate them from animal, fungal, and bacterial cells.
- Cell Wall. It is the outermost, protective layer of a plant cell having a thickness of 20-80 nm. Cell walls are made up of carbohydrates such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin and a complex organic polymer called lignin.
- Plastids. They are double membrane-bound organelles that have their own genetic material. Plastids are mainly of three types: a) Chloroplasts: Found in the green parts of a plant and algae that contain the photosynthetic pigment, chlorophyll.
- Central Vacuole. It is the large vesicle that make up almost 30 to 80% of the total plant cell volume. The central vacuole is often the largest organelle in the cell that is filled with fluid, ions, enzymes, and other molecules.
- Cell Membrane or Plasma Membrane. It is a thin, biological membrane having a thickness of 7.5-10 nm that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment.
May 24, 2023 · A flower is the reproductive structure of an angiosperm or flowering plant. Each of the parts of a flower has a unique function that contributes to the plant’s successful reproduction. Here are the different parts of a flower, their functions, and a look at how pollination takes place.
Several cells in plants are adapted to perform specific functions: Root hair cells: specialised to take up water by osmosis and mineral ions by act ive transport from the soil as they are found in the tips of roots

Plant Cells. Figure 10.1.1 10.1. 1: A diagram of a plant cell. Plants cells differ from animal cells in that they have a cell wall (which is glued to adjacent cells by the middle lamellae), a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts. Image by LadyofHats, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.
Aug 23, 2023 · Plant cells are the building blocks of plants. Photosynthesis is the major function performed by plant cells. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of the plant cell. It is the process of preparing food by the plants, by utilising sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.

Oct 21, 2024 · plant cell, the basic unit of all plants. Plant cells, like animal cells, are eukaryotic, meaning they have a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. The following is a brief survey of some of the major characteristics of plant cells. For a more in-depth discussion of cells, see cell. How are plant cells different from animal cells?
