Plant Cell Organelles and Their Functions
–
–
Plant cells have two types of cell walls, namely primary and secondary cell walls. The cell wall acts as a protective plant cell, cell-forming, and prevents excessive absorption of water.
—
The plasma membrane is a membrane that protects the cytoplasm and the nucleus of the cell. The plasma membrane has a function to regulate the flow of solutes into and out of the cell, and regulates osmosis.
—
Mitochondria are cell organelles that function as a place for the process of overhaul or catabolism to produce energy for the process of plant survival (respiration).
—
Ribosomes are particles composed of RNA and protein that function as protein synthesis. Ribosomes can be found scattered in the cytoplasm or attached to the outside of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
—
Plastids are the largest organelles in plant cells that have certain roles depending on the type. Leucoplasts are colorless plastids, such as amyloplasts that contain protein reserves. Chloroplasts are green plastids that play a role in photosynthesis. Chromoplasts are red, orange, or yellow plastids in plant cells.
—
Golgi bodies are organelles that are shaped like stacks of hollow discs with twisted edges surrounded by spherical bodies (vesicles).
—
The nucleus is an organelle consisting of a nuclear membrane, nucleoplasm, chromosomes, and nucleolus that functions to maintain the integrity of genes and control cell activity in managing gene expression.
—
Mature plant cells consist of a large central vacuole consisting of a fluid containing dissolved inorganic ions, organic acids, sugars, enzymes, and various secondary metabolites.

These are the cell organelles found in plant cells and their functions. I hope this information is helpful! (CHL)
