<\/a>Every living thing in existence comprises a complex system of biotic components following their hierarchical system. A body consists of various organs, which are made up of tissues. These tissues are made up of what we also refer to as the fundamental unit of life – the cell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cells on their own are found in various shapes and sizes, and each type of cell has its own function to perform. They were discovered by Robert Hooke in the late 1660s, changing how modern biology is approached altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

This article will explore what plant cells are, the components they are made of, and each component\u2019s very own function.<\/span>

What is a plant cell?<\/h2>\n

As the name suggests, plant cells are present in plants and are of different types depending on their function. Primarily, there are two types of cells – prokaryotic and eukaryotic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The word prokaryotic translates to \u2018before the nucleus,\u2019 which suggests that these are the types of cells that had no nucleus present in them. In contrast, plant cells considered eukaryotic have a nucleus in them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cell Organelles<\/h3>\n

The basic structure of the plant cell includes various smaller components called \u201ccell organelles\u201d enclosed in a cell wall. These organelles perform different functions and sustain life processes in an individual cell. Let us now move on to the different kinds of such cell organelles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cell wall<\/h3>\n

The cell walls are a rigid outer covering of the cell that encloses all the other cell organelles. These walls comprise four different components:<\/span><\/p>\n
