Meaning
• Plant cell: are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key respects
from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive
features include:
• nucleus, Plasmodesma, Dictyosome, Dictyosome, Nucleus, Nuclear
envelope, Endoplasmic reticulum, Peroxisome, Chloroplast,
• Mitochondria, Cytosol, Free ribosome, Tonoplast, Vacuole, cell wall,
Plasma membrane, Thylakoids, and Starch grain
Nucleus
• Nucleus: a central part
about which other parts
are grouped or gathered.
Also sometimes referred
to as the "control center",
is a membrane-enclosed
organelle found in
eukaryotic cells.
Plasmodesma
• An intercellular bridge.
Chromatin
• Chromatin: a
coloring
substance in the
nucleus of the
cell.
Dictyosome
• Dictyosome:
cellular organelle
that elaborates
sugars and
proteins.
Nuclear Envelope
• Nuclear envelope:
membrane
surrounding the
nucleolus.
Cell Wall
• Cell Wall: the definite boundary or wall that is part
of the outer structure of certain cells, as a plant cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Endoplasmic
reticulum: a
formation within the
cytoplasm that plays
a role in the
production of various
substances.
Peroxisome
• Peroxisome: cytoplasmic organelle which
contains enzymes.
Chloroplast
• Chloroplast : granule of chlorophyll, which is
needed for photosynthesis.
Mitochondria
• Mitochondria : granule that plays an important
role in the respiration and energy-releasing
reactions in living cells.
Cytosol
• Cytosol :
liquid part of
the cytoplasm.
Free Ribosome
• Free ribosome :
cytoplasmic
organelle which is
responsible for
protein synthesis.
Vacuole
• Vacuole: space with the cytoplasm of a cell
containing various substances.
Tonoplast
• Tonoplast :
vacuolar
membrane.
Plasma membrane
• Plasma membrane: envelope of plasma.
Thylakoids
• Thylakoids: membranous molecular
structures involved in photosynthesis.
Starch Grain
• Starch Grain: starch granule.
