Plant Cell

Plant cells have many different parts that are need to work together and function as a whole. These parts are the cell membrane which can be compared to a "Condom" due to the fact that is a very thin protective layer that lets certain substances to pass through. Cell wall is a thicker rougher membrane, which gives the plant most of its structure and support, the cell wall also bond with other cell walls to form the structure of the plant. Centrosome may be also referred to as the "Microtubule organizing center" it's looks like a small body near the nucleus having a dense center and radiating tubules, here in the centrosome is where the microtubules are made. Chloroplast is a CD shaped organelle that holds the plants chlorophyll, Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast.

Cytoplasm is a jell like material outside the cell nucleus which all the cell's organelles are located. Golgi body also called "Golgi apparatus" is a flat organelle that may resemble a stack of pancakes located near the nucleus, the Golgi apparatus packages cards and proteins into membrane-bound vesicles to leave the cell. Mitochondrion is a circle kind of stick shaped organelles with a double membrane, mitochondrion converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP for the cell. Nuclear membrane is the membrane that surrounds the nucleus. Nucleolus is and organelle that's inside the nucleus this is where ribosomal RNA is produced. Nucleus is a circle shaped body that holds many of the organelles, the nucleus controls the function of the cell and also contains DNA.

Ribosome small particles made of RNA-rich cytoplasmic which assemble the proteins. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is a large system of connected sacks that are located in the cell's cytoplasm it's also covered in ribosome with give's it's rough appearance. The rough ER transports materials though the cell and produces protein which are sent to the Golgi apparatus. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is also a vast system

    The nucleus is a large organelle surrounded by a double membrane nuclear envelope; the nuclear envelope contains many pores to allow substances such as tRNA and mRNA to move between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The nucleus contains most of the cells genetic material in the form of DNA. The DNA and proteins that make up the contents of the nucleus is known as the chromatin. DNA stored in the nucleus codes for different amino acids and proteins to be produced, depending on which genes are being expressed decides what proteins are produced and ultimately the function of the cell. At the centre of the nucleus is a nucleolus which is where ribosomes are manufactured. A diagram of a nucleus can be seen in figure 1. The double membrane keeps the nucleus separate from all the other organelles and serves as a barrier to prevent molecules diffusing freely into and out of the nucleus. The outer membrane has a…

    Being the largest organelle in the cell, the appearance of the nucleus is quite unique. It is the most obvious organelle in any eukaryotic cell, composing about 10% of the total volume of the cell and is found near the center of the cell. Usually the nucleus is round and is surrounded by a membrane, called the nuclear envelope, which is similar to the cell membrane that encloses the entire cell. The envelope is riddled with holes, called nuclear pores which allow specific materials to pass in and out of the nucleus. The nucleus is surrounded by the cytoplasm inside a cell. In the nucleus, there are masses of threads called chromatin, which is indistinct in the nondividing cell, but it condenses to chromosomes at the time of cell division. This is where the DNA resides. The most prominent structure in the nucleus is the nucleolus which produces ribosomal RNA or rRNA.…

    Plants are unique among the eukaryotes. The interiors of plant cells, like all eukaryotic cells, contain numerous organelles, which are membrane bounded structures that close off compartments within which multiple biochemical processes can proceed simultaneously and independently. The cell membrane of the plant cell has a phospholipid bilayer. Plant cells often have a central vacuole, which is a large membrane-bounded sac that stores proteins, pigments, and waste materials. The central vacuole, in most mature plants, occupies a major portion of the internal volume of the cell and has a phospholipid bilayer. Inside the nucleus, an organelle with a phospholipid bilayer that regulates cell activity, the DNA is wrapped tightly around proteins and packaged into compacts units called chromosomes. The DNA is double stranded. Also inside the nucleus is the nucleolus that is made of protein and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences of chromosomes. Plant cells also have a cytoskeleton, an internal protein scaffold that supports the cell. The cytoskeleton is composed of microtubules and microfilaments. Microfilaments are solid rods made of globular proteins called actin. Microtubules are straight, hollow cylinders are found throughout the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells and carry out a variety of functions, ranging from transport to structural support. This type of eukaryotic cell also contains a strong cell wall composed of cellulose or chitin fibers embedded in a matrix of other polysaccharides and proteins. Furthermore, a generalized eukaryotic plant cells also contains cytoplasm, which is a fluid with dissolved substances, and mitochondria, which produce cellular energy (ATP) and has folding convolutions called cristaes. In the plant cell, there are also ribosomes which have…
