Plant Cell Organelles and Functions

The video tutorial explores the unique characteristics of plant cells, focusing on their organelles. It covers the cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, and various organelles like vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, and plastids. The tutorial highlights the differences between plant and animal cells, emphasizing the functions and structures unique to plant cells.

What is the primary function of the cell wall in plant cells?
