Characteristics of plant cells
Plant cell contains cell membrane
Plant cell contains nucleus
Plant cell contains cell membrane
Plant cell contains chloroplasts

Functions of cell membrane
Cell membrane protects the inside of the cell
It controls what things can go in and out of the cell
Absorption-root hair cells
The root hair cell absorbs water and minerals from the soil.
They provide larger surface area which increases the absorption from the soil
Conduction and support-xylem vessels
Xylem vessels conduct water from the root to the entire body of the plant
Xylem vessels provide support because they have thick cell wall made of lignin
Transport of oxygen-red blood cells
Red blood cells transport oxygen
They take oxygen from the lungs and transport it to the rest of the body
