Observe: Describe at least 3 things you notice about this plant cell under a microscope. Wonder: What is one question you have based on your observations?
All forms of life are made up of a basic unit called cells. In this lesson, we’ll focus on the cells that make up plants.
6 Kingdoms of Life
Select the plants in the diagram.

Whether it’s a tree, a vegetable plant, or a cactus, all plants have cells that work together to help the plant grow, absorb sunlight, produce food, and support the overall structure of the plant.

Within a cell, there are many tiny parts, each playing a crucial role in keeping the cell functioning properly. Let’s build a model of a plant cell to better understand these parts.

A gel-like substance that fills the cell and holds the organelles in place.
Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is the packaging center of the cell—it sorts and packages proteins and other materials to send them where they’re needed.
mitochondrion
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) are organelles known as the powerhouse of the cell, where usable energy is made. They use glucose (produced in chloroplasts during photosynthesis) to create ATP, the energy the cell uses to do its work.
chloroplast
Where photosynthesis happens—this is where sunlight is turned into glucose, a type of sugar that provides energy for the plant.
vacuole
The vacuole is an organelle that acts as the storage tank of the cell, holding water, nutrients, and waste. In plant cells, it also helps keep the cell firm.
Great job learning about plant cells! Each part plays a vital role in keeping the cell—and the whole plant—alive and healthy. By working together, these parts help the plant grow, produce energy, and stay strong.
endoplasmic reticulum
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is a network inside the cell with two parts—rough ER, which has ribosomes to make and transport proteins, and smooth ER, which makes lipids and breaks down toxins.
ribosome
Ribosomes are organelles that build the proteins necessary for the cell to function.
nucleus
The nucleus is the organelle that serves as the cell's control center, where important decisions are made. It houses the cell’s DNA.
