Study Notes

Cell Structure Discovery

  • The cell wall was the first structure to be discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665.

Plant Cell Characteristics

  • Most organelles in plant cells have a double membrane.

Plant Cell Components

  • The cell membrane surrounds the protoplasm in plant cells.

Cytoplasm Characteristics

  • The souplike fluid within the cytoplasm is called cytosol.

Plant Cell Support

  • The cell wall provides flexibility and protection to plant cells.

Cell Shape Definition
