Key Stage 3
Meaning
A plant cell is a cell that has a cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplasts, a permanent vacuole and a nucleus.
About Plant Cells
- Plant cells have more parts than an animal cell.

Key Stage 4
Meaning
A plant cell is a eukaryotic cell that has a cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplasts, a permanent vacuole and a nucleus.
About Plant Cells
- As a eukaryotic cell a plant cell contains membrane bound organelles, including a nucleus, several mitochondria and a permanent vacuole.
- Plant cells can be distinguished from animal cells in that they have a cell wall made of cellulose, a permanent vacuole and may have chloroplasts (depending on where those cells are in the plant).
- Plant cells can store starch in the cytoplasm, which is shown when they are dyed with Iodine solution prior to being viewed under a light microscope.
