* Cell Wall: A rigid outer layer made of cellulose that provides structural support and protection.
* Chloroplasts: Contain chlorophyll, the pigment that captures light energy for photosynthesis.
* Central Vacuole: A large, fluid-filled sac that stores water, nutrients, and waste products, and helps maintain cell turgor pressure.
* Plasmodesmata: Channels that connect adjacent plant cells, allowing for communication and transport of molecules.
While animal cells have some of these structures in a rudimentary form (such as vesicles that may store water), the specialized, functional forms found in plant cells are unique to the plant kingdom.
