Plant Cell Structure

Plant cells have all the same features as animal cells, plus three additional structures that allow them to make food and stay rigid.

Test your knowledge of specialized plant tissues.

What is Plant Cell Structure?

"Plant cells are eukaryotic cells characterized by a cellulose cell wall, large permanent vacuole, and chloroplasts for photosynthesis."

Question 1

Which cell structure contains the genetic material in an animal cell?

Question 2

What is the function of the cellulose cell wall in a plant cell?

Question 3

Which structure is found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?

Question 4

What is the main function of mitochondria?

Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

The permanent vacuole is filled with cell sap to keep the cell turgid (firm).

Exam Tip

The plant cell wall is made of cellulose, which strengthens the cell.

The fastest way to improve your grade is to practise exam-style questions, identify your gaps, and focus only on what you don't know.
