Plant Cells
1. Describe the structure of a generalized eukaryotic plant cell. Indicate the ways in which a nonphotosynthetic prokaryotic cell would differ in structure from this generalized eukaryotic plant cell.
Plants are unique among the eukaryotes. The interiors of plant cells, like all eukaryotic cells, contain numerous organelles, which are membrane bounded structures that close off compartments within which multiple biochemical processes can proceed simultaneously and independently. The cell membrane of the plant cell has a phospholipid bilayer. Plant cells often have a central vacuole, which is a large membrane-bounded sac that stores proteins, pigments, and waste materials. The central vacuole, in most mature plants, occupies a major portion of the internal volume of the cell and has a phospholipid bilayer. Inside the nucleus, an organelle with a phospholipid bilayer that regulates cell activity, the DNA is wrapped tightly around proteins and packaged into compacts units called......
