3. INTRODUCTION
Cell is the structural and functional unit of an organism.
Cell was discovered by Robert Hooke.
There are mainly two type of cells are present
Plant cell
Animal cell
• M J Schleiden discovered that plant body is made up of cell.
• Cell theory was formulated by M J Schleiden and
Schwan.
5. Cell wall
The cell wall is a tough,
flexible and sometimes
rigid layer that
surrounds plant cell.
It surrounds the cell
membrane and provides
these cells with
structural support and
protection.
7. Protoplasm and Cytoplasm
All substance inside the
cell membrane
constitute protoplasm
The part of protoplasm
excluding nucleus called
cytoplasm.
8. Mitochondrion
Power house of the cell.
Helps in production and
storage of energy
They use complex
molecules and oxygen to
produce a high energy
molecule know as ATP
(Adenosine
Triphosphate)
9. Nucleus
Considered as the
regulatory centre of the
cell.
Nuclear membrane,
nucleoplasm, chromatin
reticulum, nucleolus,
nuclear pore are the
different parts of
nucleus.
10. Endoplasmic reticulum
It is called the
cytoskeleton of the cell,
because it provides
firmness and shape to
the cell.
Conduction of material
inside the cell take place
through this .
11. Ribosome
Centre of protein
synthesis in the cell.
Seen either attached to
endoplasmic reticulum
or free in cytoplasm.
12. Vacuole
Covered by characteristic
membrane called
tonoplast.
Stores water , salts,
excretory materials etc
13. Golgi complex
Groups of flattened disc-
like structures located
close to the endoplasmic
reticulum..
The Golgi apparatus
receives proteins and
lipids (fats) from the rough
endoplasmic reticulum
14. plastids
Cell organelles found in
plants.
They are mainly 3 type of
plastids
Chloroplast(green colour)
Chromoplast( colour to
fruits and flowers)
Leucoplast(no specific
colour)
15. Conclusion
Cell is the basic unit of our life.
Plant cell was discovered by M J Schleiden.
Plant cell contains many cell organelles such as
Nucleus, Mitochondria, Golgi complex, Endoplasmic
reticulum, Plastids etc.
