Plant Cell

The plant cell is surrounded by a cell wall which supports its shape. A bilayered cytoplasmic membrane is located beneath the wall. Many different structures reside within the cell, e.g. the nucleus which controls the cell, endoplasmic reticulum creating proteins, mitochondria producing energy, cytoskeleton to maintain the cell structure… Vacuoles, filled with liquid, are typical components of the plant cell. Chloroplasts are important organelles crucial in the process of photosynthesis.
