Cell structure Description Function Cell type Cell wall Freely permeable layer surrounding cell membrane. The cell wall of plant cells is made from cellulose. This gives them a rigid structure.

Animal and plant cells have certain structures in common. Cell structure Function Cytoplasm Where enzymes and other proteins are made. Location of reactions in anaerobic respiration. Nucleus ...

Vacuoles usually account for changes in cell size when the cytoplasmic volume stays constant. Some vacuoles have specialized functions, and plant cells can have more than one type of vacuole.

Plant cells also contain large vacuoles and chloroplasts. Each organelle performs a specific function critical to the cell's survival (Table 1). Table 1. The structure and function of key eukaryotic ...
