Summary:
- Plant cells have a rigid cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids.
- The cell wall provides structural support and protection.
- Pores in the cell wall allow water and nutrients to move into and out of the cell.
- The cell wall also prevents the plant cell from bursting when water enters the cell.
- The central vacuole maintains turgor pressure against the cell wall.
- Proteins found in the tonoplast
