Plant cells
Plants are made up of cells. These cells are Description of a cell which has a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells also have other structures in the cytoplasm which have membranes around them.. This means they have a nucleus and other structures which are surrounded by A selectively permeable membrane surrounding the cell and controlling the entry and exit of materials..
Animal and plant cells have certain structures in common: the nucleus, cell membrane,Structures in the cytoplasm of all cells where aerobic respiration takes place (singular is mitochondrion). and The site of protein synthesis.. Plant cells also have some additional structures:
| Structure | How it is related to its function |
| Chloroplast | Organelle that contains the green pigment, chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. Contains the enzymes needed for photosynthesis. |
| Cell wall | Plant and bacterial cell walls provide structure and protection. Only plant cell walls are made from cellulose. |
| Permanent vacuole | Filled with cell sap to help keep the cell swollen. |

Animal cells may also have A space within the cytoplasm of plant cells that contains cell sap., but these are small and temporary.
