| cell wall | provides structure and support for plant cells |
| nucleus | brain of the cell |
| vacuole | storage center of cell stores food and water |
| producers | organisms that create food through photosynthesis |
| lysosome | kill foreign invaders and old organelles |

| organelles that are only in plant cells | cell wall chloroplast |
| organ | a group of tissues working together |
