Plant Cell​

 

Cellular structure is a major characteristic of all living organisms. Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms.​

 

Various Components are present in the cells to carry out the life activities of living organisms. ​

 

These elements are called organelles.​

 

Plant cells have a definite shape due to the presence of the cell wall around them. Besides, unlike animal cells, plant cells contain single large vacuole. All these cells are known as eukaryotic cells.​

 

The nucleus is the most important organelle of the cell. There is a porous double membrane around it. The nucleus controls all functions of the cell. ​

 

The endoplasmic reticulum is a sprawling net-like organelle. Its function is to make necessary changes in the proteins produced by ribosomes and send them to the Golgi bodies. ​

 

Golgi bodies are made up of several flat sacs. Their function is the proper distribution of proteins. ​

 

Mitochondria and plastids are organelles with double outer coverings. As mitochondria produce energy, they are called the powerhouses of the cell. ​

 

The chloroplasts in plant cells carry out the function of photosynthesis. ​

 

Vacuoles help to throw out waste products of the cell. There is only one large vacuole in a plant cell​
