Site where photosynthesis happens.
Cell/Plasma Membrane

The semi-fluid boundary that controls what passes in and out of the cell.
Cell Wall

Provides rigidity to plant cells allowing turgor pressure to develop.
Endoplasmic Reticulum

Compartmentalizes the cytoplasm/cytosol. There are two (2) types: one with ribosomes (rough ER) & one without ribosomes (smooth ER).
