Plant Cell Organelles

Cell Membrane, Cell Wall, Chloroplasts, Cytoplasm, Mitochondria, Nucleus, Permanent Vacuole, Ribosomes

Cytoplasm

A jelly-like substance containing dissolved nutrients and organelles, where most chemical reactions happen.

Cell Membrane

Controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell

Ribosomes

structures in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs

Nucleus

Contains genetic material and controls activities in the cell

Mitochondria

Contains enzymes for respiration, most energy is released here.

Chloroplasts

Contains chlorophyll and enzymes for photosynthesis

Permanent Vacuole

contains cell sap to keep the cell turgid

Cell wall

Made from cellulose fibres and strengthens the cell and supports the plant
