Found in Plant Cells Only

VacuoleVacuoles can sometimes take up to %90 of a plant cells space so they can be anywhere in the cell. Vacuoles are large holding tanks. Vacuoles store enzymes and metabolic waste. The vacuoles sometimes even store toxins which sometimes helps the plant with defense against herbivores. Vacuoles work with the whole cell.
ChloroplastChloroplast is only found in plant cells. They have two membranes much like mitrochondria. Chloroplast contains flat discs called thulakiods. Chloroplasts job is to convert sunlight to usuable energy for the plant. The thylakoids that are in chloroplast do photosynthesis. Chloroplast works with the whole cell also because it provides energy for the cell. Chloroplast is found in the cytosol.
Cell WallThe cell wall is found on the outside of the cell membrane. The cell wall made out of cellulose strands to help it become stronger. The job of the cell wall is to support and protect the cell. The cell wall works with all of the organelles by protecting them.
PlasmodesmataPlasmodesmata is found between cells. They allow direct communications between plant cells. They also allow some molecules to pass through one cell to another. They are a tube-like shape with a membrane. They usually form during cell division. The plasmodesmata works with the whole cell.
