Plant Cell

It is the rigid outer cover of the plant cell with a major role of protecting the plant cell, giving it, its shape.

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

• Vacuole

It is the ‘control center’ of the cell. It contains Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material that directs all the activities of the cell.

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

• Chloroplast

It contains a green pigment that traps sunlight and converts it into sugars by a process called photosynthesis.

• Mitochondria

• Golgi body

• Vacuoles

• Chloroplast

A jelly-like material that contains dissolved nutrients and salts and structures called organelles. It is where many of the chemical reactions happen.

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Cell membrane

• Ribosomes

It is a protective layer that surrounds every cell and separates it from its external environment. It is found just inside the cell wall. Its structure is permeable to some substances but not to others. It therefore controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

This is the ‘powerhouse’ of the plant cell. It converts the energy stored in food (sugar and fat) into energy.

• Cytoplasm

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

This part is very large that can take up anywhere from 30% to as much as 90% of the total cell plant volume. It helps maintain its turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the contents of the cell pushing against the cell wall. If turgor pressure in the plants decreases, the plants begin to wilt.

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleus

• Ribosomes

• Vacuole

A tiny organelle where protein synthesis occurs.

• Ribosomes

• Mitochondria

• Golgi body

• Vacuole

Which of these are found in plant cells, but not in animal cells?

• Central vacuole

• Chloroplasts

• Cell wall

• All of the above

It is a stack of membrane-covered sacs that prepares proteins for export from the cell. In fact, plant cells may contain hundreds of these organelles.

• Golgi apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Cytoplasm
