Plant cells are the basic structural and functional units of plants, characterized by cell walls, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles. They possess specialized organelles like chloroplasts for photosynthesis and vacuoles for storage and maintaining turgor pressure. Plant cells also contain a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria, facilitating various cellular processes essential for plant growth, development, and metabolism.
