The Plant Cell Diagram

The Plant Cell is a type of Eukaryotic Cell that is found in all Plants. Plant Cell is characterized by the presence of a Cell Wall, Chloroplasts, and a Large Central Vacuole.

Description of The Cell Diagram labels is as follows – 

Cell wall

Cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell and provides protection and structure to the plant cell .

Cell membrane

Cell Membrane is a thin selectively permeable layer that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.

Cytoskeleton

Cytoskeleton is a network of protein fibers that give the cell shape and support, and also help with movement and cell division.

Nucleus

Nucleus is the control center of the cell; it contains the genetic material (DNA) and the machinery for DNA replication and protein synthesis.

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are responsible for producing the cell’s energy through cellular respiration.

Chloroplasts

Chloroplasts are  found in plant cells . They are responsible for photosynthesis.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of flattened sacs and tubules that are involved in protein and lipid transport and modification.

Golgi apparatus

Golgi apparatus is the cell organelles  that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport to other parts of the cell or outside of the cell.

Lysosomes

Lysosomes are the cell organelles that contain enzymes that break down and recycle cellular waste.

Vacuoles

Vacuoles are large, fluid-filled cell organelles that store water, nutrients, and waste products. The vacuole membrane is selectively permeable, allowing certain molecules to enter or exit the vacuole while preventing others.

Amyloplast

Amyloplast is a type of plastid found in plant cells that is responsible for the storage of starch.

Raphide Crystal 

Raphide Crystal is a type of crystal found in plant cells that is made up of calcium oxalate. Raphide crystals are typically found in cells that are involved in defense against herbivores, such as in the leaves and stems of plants.

Druse crystal

Druse crystal is a  type of crystal found in plant cells that is made up of calcium oxalate. Druse crystals are typically found in cells that are involved in the formation of plant cuticles, such as in the epidermis of leaves.

Vacuole membrane

Vacuole membrane membrane surrounds and encloses the vacuole. Vacuole is a large organelle found in plant cells that is responsible for the storage of various substances such as water, ions, and waste products.
