The Cell Theory

• All living things are made of cells.
• Cells are the basic unit of life.
• Cells come from other cells.

Plant cell organelles

EUKARYOTIC CELL

plant

Plant cells have some organelles that animal cells do not - a cell wall, a large vacuole, and chloroplasts. Plant cells need large vacuoles to store water as they cannot obtain water like most animals can. A cell wall helps plants maintain their structure and stand up. Chloroplasts are cell parts that allow photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is process by which plants use energy from the sun to create glucose (sugar) as food for themselves.
