What are the main parts of plant cells?
You probably already know the parts of a plant cell, but let’s see what important role each part plays!
- Nucleus: It holds all the important genetic information.
- Large central vacuole: It holds water and other stuff the cell needs.
- Chloroplasts: They use light energy to make food for the plant through the process of photosynthesis.
- Cell wall: It gives the cell structure and support. You won’t find this in animal cells!
- Mitochondria: They’re the powerhouse of the cell; they turn food into chemical energy the cell can use.
- Cell Membrane: It allows the entry of nutrients and exit of harmful substances and helps maintain the shape of the cell
- Vacuole: It helps the plant stand tall by creating something called turgor pressure.

More parts of a cell:
We’ve learned the main parts of a plant cell, where they keep their genetic material, and how they’re structured. But here are more interesting facts for you to learn!
- Plant cells have membrane-bound organelles which are like mini factories. Each organelle has a specific job, like the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with ribosomes for protein synthesis, and the smooth ER that makes lipids and detoxifies the cell.
- The main difference between plant and animal cells is the presence of plant cell walls, which are like an extra protective layer. They offer structural support and help maintain the cell’s shape, like the walls of a building.
- Plant cells often have a double membrane, consisting of an outer membrane and an inner membrane around certain organelles. This double layer adds extra security, ensuring that important things stay inside while keeping harmful substances out.
