Cell wall - made of cellulose which supports cell
Vacuole - cell sap
Chloroplast - Photosythesis occurs, contains chlorophyll
Nucleus - contains genetic info which control activities of cell
Cytoplasm - chemical reactions happen, contains enzymes.
Mitochondria - Respiration takes place here
Ribosomes- proteins are made.
In a leaf:
the waxy layer- stops water escaping
upper epidermis- transparent layer to let light through
palisade mesophyll- cells contain chloroplast trap light.
