The electron micrograph displayed below illustrates many of the
plant cell characteristics discussed
The cell wall, large central vacuole and chloroplasts are clearly visible
Also visible
is the clearly
defined nucleus
containing
chromatin
Nucleus
Chromatin
The vacuole
in this mature
plant cell from
a leaf is large,
and occupies
about 80% of
the cell volume
The photograph shown below details chloroplast structure
as viewed with a transmission electron microscope
