Ck 12: Life Science: Plant Cell Structures

Curated by ACT

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Even though plants and animals are both eukaryotes, plant cells differ in some ways from animal cells. Plant cells have a large central vacuole, are surrounded by a cell wall, and have chloroplasts, which are the organelles of photosynthesis. Learn more about plant cell structures in this learning module produced by CK-12.
