Overview of Plant Cell Structures

The cell contains several essential structures and organelles that allow it to carry out its functions. The nucleus contains the nucleolus and gives instructions for cell activities. Ribosomes in the rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins. Other structures such as the mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, and vacuoles play important roles in energy production, photosynthesis, transport, waste storage, and other processes necessary for the cell to survive.
