If you are doing your biology experiment on plant and prepare to observe its cells, then you’ll certainly need these diagrams of a plant cell to help you know better about the plant cell anatomy. We have a handful of diagrams that you can use to assist you in your biology lab! Plant cells are eukaryotic cells, or cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Unlike prokaryotic cells, the DNA in a plant cell is housed within a nucleus that is enveloped by a membrane. In addition to having a nucleus, plant cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles, or tiny cellular structures, that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. Look at the first image of the diagram below.
From the diagram above, you can see the anatomy of a plant cell. The most important distinctive structure of plant cell is the presence of the cell wall outside the cell membrane. It forms the outer lining of the cell. The cell wall mostly constitutes of cellulose. Plants cells also contain many membrane bound cellular structures. These organelles carry out specific functions necessary for survival and normal operation of the cells. There are a wide range of operations like producing hormones, enzymes, and all metabolic activities of the cell.[s]
