A cellulose cell wall, chloroplasts and a large permanent vacuole containing cell sap (plants also store starch, not glycogen).
Key words: cell wall · chloroplasts · vacuole
Describing cells with genetic material enclosed in a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Key words: eukaryotic
The carbohydrate that forms the main structural material of plant cell walls.
Key words: cellulose
The aqueous solution inside a plant cell vacuole.
Key words: cell sap
Able to manufacture organic nutrients from inorganic raw materials using an external energy source.
Key words: autotrophic
Firm because water has entered and the cell contents press against the wall.
Key words: turgid
Typical animal cell: Present; outer cell boundary. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Present; immediately inside the wall.
Key words: Cell membrane
Typical animal cell: Present. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Present, often pushed towards the edge by the vacuole.
Key words: Cytoplasm
Typical animal cell: Present in most cells. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Present in living, unspecialised examples.
Key words: Nucleus
Typical animal cell: Present. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Present.
Key words: Mitochondria and ribosomes
Typical animal cell: Absent. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Present for support and shape.
Key words: Cellulose cell wall
Typical animal cell: Absent. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Present where photosynthesis occurs.
Key words: Chloroplasts
Typical animal cell: Absent. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Present; contains cell sap and contributes to turgor.
Key words: Large permanent vacuole
Typical animal cell: Often flexible and irregular, but variable. Typical photosynthetic plant cell: Often regular because of the wall, but variable.
Key words: Overall shape
False. Those are common diagram conventions; both groups contain cells with many shapes.
False. Plant cells respire continuously and need mitochondria to release energy.
False. Only cells exposed to suitable light and equipped with chloroplasts photosynthesise.
False. They lack the large permanent central vacuole but may contain smaller vesicles.
