Study the example of a plant cell below and answer the questions that follow.

here are the answers to your questions:

2.3.1 Give the LETTER and NAME of two structures or organelles that can be found in the plant cell but not in the animal cell.

• A: Cell wall
• C: Chloroplast (Alternatively, D: Large central vacuole could also be chosen).

2.3.2 What is the name and the function of organelle A?

• Name: Cell wall
• Function: Provides structural support and protection to the plant cell, maintaining its shape and preventing excessive water uptake.

2.3.3 Draw a labelled diagram of the inner structure of the organelle mentioned in question 2.3.2.
The organelle mentioned in 2.3.2 is the cell wall. A labelled diagram of the cell wall would typically show:

• The primary cell wall, which is flexible and thin.
• The secondary cell wall (if present), which is thicker and more rigid, located inside the primary wall.
• The middle lamella, which is the outermost layer that cements adjacent cells together.
• The main components, such as cellulose microfibrils, embedded in a matrix of hemicellulose and pectin.

2.3.4 Write down ONE function that the nucleus and ribosome have in common with each other.

• Both the nucleus and ribosomes are involved in the synthesis of proteins. The nucleus contains the genetic instructions (DNA) and produces messenger RNA (mRNA), while ribosomes read the mRNA to assemble proteins.

2.3.5 Give the LETTERS of the structures that helps the plant cell to keep it's rigid structure.

• A (Cell wall)
• D (Large central vacuole, which exerts turgor pressure)
