Plant Cell Structure

Plant cell has similar to the animal cell. The difference is that it has cell wall, central vacuole, plasmodesmata and chloroplasts.

The most striking feature of the plant cell is the chloroplasts, where the photosynthesis occurs.

Scientists believe that chloroplasts originate from early prokaryotes that entered early primitive eucaryotic cells and established symbiosis with them.

Chloroplast has a double membrane. The outer membrane, believed to be of the cellular origin, is more permeable and the inner membrane which might belong to the early prokaryote, is less permeable and here part of the enzymes of the photosynthesis occur.
