The cell wall of a plant cell is made of fibres that strengthen the cell but allow substances to pass through.

Chloroplasts are structures found within cells in the green parts of a plant. They trap light to enable the plant to make its own food.

The vacuole of a plant cell contains watery sap which, when full, keeps the cell firm.
