Study Notes
Plant Cell Structures
- Plant cells have unique sub-cellular structures not found in animal cells
- Cell Wall: Made of cellulose, providing strength and structure, like a brick wall
- Permanent Vacuole (Water Sack): Contains cell sap, supporting the cell and maintaining its shape (turgidity)
- Chloroplast: Site of photosynthesis, used to make glucose for the cell
- Chlorophyll: Green pigment within chloroplasts, absorbing sunlight for photosynthesis
