Cellule Végétale

A cellule végétale, or plant cell, is a fundamental building block of plants. It is a eukaryotic cell, meaning it has a nucleus that contains genetic material. Plant cells are characterized by their rectangular shape and have specialized structures called organelles. The most notable is the cell wall, made of cellulose, which provides protection and support. Inside, they contain a large central vacuole for storage and maintaining pressure, chloroplasts for photosynthesis (converting sunlight into energy), and other organelles that carry out specific functions. These cells work together to help the plant grow, reproduce, and make food.
