Parts of a Plant Cell Structure
Plant cells are classified into three viz. parenchyma cells, collenchyma cells and sclerenchyma cells based on the structure and function. Now let us see the different parts of a plant cell.
Cell Wall - Cell wall is the outermost rigid layer composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and sometimes lignin. The function of cell wall is protection, structural support and also it helps in filtering mechanism.
Cell Membrane - Cell membrane also called as plasma membrane is present inside the cell wall and surrounds the cytoplasm. It connects the intracellular components with the extracellular environment and helps in protection and transportation.
Plasmodesmata - Plasmodesmatas are small openings, which connect plant cells with each other enabling transport and communication between them.
Vacuole - Vacuoles are large membrane bound compartments, which stores compounds and provides storage, excretory and secretory functions. The membrane surrounding vacuole is called tonoplast.
Cytoplasm - Cytoplasm is filled up by cytosol, which is a gelatinous, semitransparent fluid.
Nucleus - Nucleus is a specialized organelle, which contains the plant's hereditary material i.e. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). It also contains structures, which regulates the cell cycle, growth, protein synthesis and reproductive function.
Plastid - Plastids are organelles responsible for the photosynthetic activity and for the manufacture and storage of chemical compounds in plants. Chloroplast is an important form of plastid containing chlorophyll pigment, which helps in harvesting light energy and converting it to chemical energy.
Mitochondria - Mitochondria are oblong shaped organelles that are also known as "the powerhouse of the cell". They are responsible for breaking down the complex carbohydrate and sugar molecules to simpler forms that the plants can use.
Endoplasmic Reticulum - Endoplasmic reticulum is an organelle responsible for the manufacturing and storage of chemical compounds like glycogen and steroids, translation and transportation of protein. It is also connected to the nuclear membrane so as to make a channel between the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
Golgi Apparatus - Golgi apparatus also known as Golgi complex is an organelle responsible for the processing and packaging of macromolecules such as proteins and fats, which are synthesized by the cell and prepares them for transportation.
Ribosome - Ribosomes are organelles, which are made up of 60% RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) and 40% protein and play an important role in protein translation.
Microbodies - Microbodies are single membrane bound organelles, globular in shape and contains degradative enzymes. Most common microbodies are peroxisomes.
Microtubules - Microtubules are straight, hollow, tubular cylinders, which make up the cytoskeleton. They are responsible for structural support and transport of the cell.
Microfilaments - Microfilaments are thin filaments of the cytoskeleton and are responsible for structural support of the cell.

∙ 12y agoCell Membrane-Holds the cell together
Large Vacoule-contains sap
Nucleus-brain of the cell
Chloroplasts-Contains chlorophyl whatever that is
Cell wall-provides support
Cytoplasm- That's where the chemical reaction happens!

Name 3 main parts of a plant cell?
The 3 parts of an plant cell are... The cell membrane, the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
What are the parts of the cell found in animal cells which are not found in plant cells?
the cell parts that are present in plant cells but are not present in animal cells are:: 1.chloroplast 2.cell wall 3.vacuole and also the plant cell is rectangular in shape while the animal cell is roughly oval in shape
What does the nucleolus do to help the animal and plant cell?
cleans the other parts of the cell
What cell parts have photosynthesis?
Plant cells have chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll, which allows the plant to use photosynthesis.
What part of animal cell that the plant cell does not have?
The animal cell has two parts that aren't in a plant cell. One would be the lysosomes, and the second part would be centrioles. The parts that they have in common are: Nucleus, Nucleolus, Nuclear membrane, Mitochondria, Ribosomes, Cell membrane, DNA/Chromosomes, Golgi Complex, Endoplasmic Reticulum, and Vacuoles.

How do all the parts of a plant cell work?
During nuclear division all parts of a plant cell work
What cell parts are seen in plant cells?
In a plant cell there are: Cell Wall, Cell Membrane, Starch Grain, Cytoplasm, Nucleus, A Vacuole and Chloroplast. They are the main cell parts found in a plant cell. Hope this helps.

Is chloroplast special parts of a plant's cell?
yes, it is the part of the plant cell that has the chlorophyl.
What cell parts do animal cells have that plant cell do not have?
Cell Wall
What cell parts do animals cell have that plant cell do not have?

What are the cell parts in the animal cell not in the plant cell?
== == chlorplasts- for storing chlorphyl cell wall- for holding the plant up

The cell wall and the cell membrane provide structure to a plant cell.
