  4. Plant cells have unique organelles: cell walls, vacuoles, and chloroplasts; and other organelles in common with animal cells: (b) Adjacent plant cells are connected by plasmodesmata. Cell 2 Smooth ER Cell wall Plasmodesma Plasma membrane Plasma membrane Cell 1 Cell wall Cell wall Vacuole Plasma membrane Rough endoplasmic reticulum Chloroplast Smooth endoplasmic reticulum Mitochondrion Golgi apparatus

  5. Plant cells are bounded by a cellulosic cell wall. Most cells have only primary (1st) walls: Woody cells have secondary walls: cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, proteins including lignin, and many layers of cellulose microfibrils Side view Top view Cellulose microfibrils Cross-links Primary cell wall Pectin Plasma membrane 1 m 50 nm Functions of cell walls:
