===Meaning===
A '''plant cell''' is a [[Eukaryotic Cell|eukaryotic]] [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] that has a [[Cell Membrane|cell membrane]], [[Cell Wall|cell wall]], [[cytoplasm]], [[mitochondria]], [[chloroplast]]s, a [[Permanent Vacuole|permanent vacuole]] and a [[Cell Nucleus|nucleus]].
===About Plant Cells===
: As a [[Eukaryotic Cell|eukaryotic cell]] a '''plant cell''' contains membrane bound [[organelle]]s, including a [[nucleus]], several [[mitochondria]] and a [[Permanent Vacuole|permanent vacuole]].
: '''Plant cells''' can be distinguished from [[Animal Cell|animal cells]] in that they have a [[Cell Wall|cell wall]] made of [[cellulose]], a [[Permanent Vacuole|permanent vacuole]] and may have [[chloroplast]]s (depending on where those [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] are in the [[plant]]).
