  2. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

  3. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    Structure of a typical animal cell Structure of a typical plant cell. Plants, animals, fungi, slime moulds, protozoa, and algae are all eukaryotic. These cells are about fifteen times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as a thousand times greater in volume.

  4. Cell growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_growth

    Cell size is highly variable among organisms, with some algae such as Caulerpa taxifolia being a single cell several meters in length. [9] Plant cells are much larger than animal cells, and protists such as Paramecium can be 330 μm long, while a typical human cell might be 10 μm. How these cells "decide" how big they should be before dividing ...

  5. Smallest organisms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest_organisms

    Pelagibacter ubique is one of the smallest known free-living bacteria, with a length of 370 to 890 nm (0.00037 to 0.00089 mm) and an average cell diameter of 120 to 200 nm (0.00012 to 0.00020 mm). They also have the smallest free-living bacterium genome: 1.3 Mbp , 1354 protein genes, 35 RNA genes.

  6. Plasmodesma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodesma

    A typical plant cell may have between 1,000 and 100,000 plasmodesmata connecting it with adjacent cells [11] equating to between 1 and 10 per μm 2. [ 12 ] [ failed verification ] Plasmodesmata are approximately 50–60 nm in diameter at the midpoint and are constructed of three main layers, the plasma membrane , the cytoplasmic sleeve , and ...

  7. Eukaryote - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote

    The cells of plants, algae, fungi and most chromalveolates, but not animals, are surrounded by a cell wall. This is a layer outside the cell membrane, providing the cell with structural support, protection, and a filtering mechanism. The cell wall also prevents over-expansion when water enters the cell. [46]

    size of vacuole is small when compared to plant cell vacuole.in animal cells centriols are present.membrane bound cell organells are present since it is an eukaryotic cell.nucleus is present. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.241.5.155 ( talk ) 04:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC) [ reply ]

  9. Cytokinesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokinesis

    Plant cytokinesis differs from animal cytokinesis, partly because of the rigidity of plant cell walls. Instead of plant cells forming a cleavage furrow such as develops between animal daughter cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms in the cytoplasm and grows into a new, doubled cell wall between plant daughter cells. It ...
