PLANT Cell Structure

The cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, and everything in between.

NUCLEUS
It gives instructions
for different
activities in the cell.
ribosomes
It is where protein
synthesis takes place.
nucleolus
It is the "brain" of the
nucleus. It helps in the
synthesis and production
cell wall
of ribosomes.
It is the cell's outer
cover. It protects and
gives shape to the cell.
