What is a plant cell? What structures have residence in the plant cell? Why is a plant cell different from a animal cell?

 

These might be a few of your questions that you have about plant cells. Well, that is why I'm here to teach you about the plant cell and it's structures.

The first thing, that is, that you will need to understand before moving on, is that a plant cell is not an animal cell and an animal cell is not a plant cell. Every organelle (structure) that the animal cell has, the plant cell has too. But the plant cell has the structures of an animal cell and a few more. That might have been a little confusing, but I beleive if you think about it very hard, it will move right into your brain.

All the structures that a plant cell has is: The Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi Bodies, the Nucleus, the Nucleuous, Vacuoles, Chloroplast, Mitochrondria, Cell Wall, Cytoplasm, Lysosomes, Cell Membrane, and Ribosomes.


The organelles that are only in the plant cell are chloroplasts and the cell wall. The cloroplasts are the substance that gives the plant it's green pigment(color).
The cell wall's purpose is to hold up the plant. Unlike an animal cells enviroment, the plant cell lives in an organism that does not have bones to uphold the organism. So that is why the cells have the cell wall, so it can uphold the cell.
