    This document provides an overview of plant cell structure and function. It discusses that cells are the fundamental units of living things and can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The main organelles of plant cells are then outlined, including the cell wall, nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, cytomembrane system, microbodies, microtubules, ergastic materials, and vacuoles. Each organelle is described in terms of its function, such as the chloroplasts performing photosynthesis and the vacuoles storing materials.
