The Definition, Diagram, Structure & Function of Plant Cells



Plant Cells – Definition, Diagram, Structure & Function

 

In all organisms, the cell is the essential unit of life. Plants, like humans and animals, are made up of several cells. Around the plant cell, there is a cell wall that helps the plant cell maintain its form. Other organelles exist in addition to the cell wall and are associated with various cellular activities.

 

What is a Plant Cell?

“Eukaryotic cells with a true nucleus that carry out certain specific functions along with specialized structures called organelles.”

Plant cells differ from other eukaryotic species in many main ways. Plant and animal cells both have a nucleus, as well as other organelles. One of the distinguishing features of a plant cell is the presence of a cell wall outside of the cell membrane.


 Diagram of a Plant Cell

 The plant cell is rectangular in shape and is slightly larger than the animal cell. Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic and have a few cell organelles in common, but plant cells have different functions than animal cells. Any of these differences become evident when the cells are examined under an electron microscope.

Plant Cell Structure

Just like different organs within the body, plant cell structure includes various components known as cell organelles that perform different functions to sustain themselves.

Functions of Plant Cells

Plant cells are the fundamental components of the plant. The primary feature of plant cells is photosynthesis.

The chloroplasts of the plant cell are where photosynthesis takes place. It is the mechanism by which plants prepare food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. The process generates energy in the form of ATP.

Water and nutrients are transferred from the roots and leaves to various parts of the plant by a few plant cells.

Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...
