Summary Introduction
Introduction: Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that are found in the organisms of the Plant Kingdom. These cells are enclosed by a cell wall with a membrane-bound nucleus. These cells also contain other membrane-bound organelles, such as nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is true for both plant and animal cells?
a)
They both contain a cytoskeleton.
b)
They both have a cell wall.
c)
They both contain centrioles for cell division.
d)
They both contain chlorophyll.
Now imagine that you are pretty wimpy ancestral eukaryotic cell, incapable of either cellular respiration or photosynthesis. Writing in the first person (from the
"" perspective), please describe the evolutionary process by which you and your offspring ultimately evolved into the first amazing plant cell, which was capable of BOTH cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
In your response, be sure to demonstrate your understanding of the following: the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, the major cellular organelles, natural selection, the basic structure and function of mitochondria and chloroplasts, as well as the types of macromolecules that make up these organelles.
These are all plant cells. Why don't they all contain chloroplasts?
