plant cell

Plant cells are eukaryotic cells present in green plants, characterized by several unique features such as:

1. Cell Wall:

   • A rigid layer composed of cellulose, providing support and protection to the cell.

2. Plastids:

   • Chloroplasts: Responsible for photosynthesis, containing chlorophyll.

   • Chromoplasts: Synthesize and store pigments.

   • Leucoplasts: Involved in storing starch, lipids, and proteins.

3. Vacuoles:

   • Large, fluid-filled sacs that store water, nutrients, and waste products.

   • Maintain turgor pressure, supporting the cell structure.

4. Other Characteristics:

   • Typically have a fixed shape due to the cell wall.

   • Undergo cell division through mitosis, forming a cell plate during cytokinesis to create new cell walls.
