Intermediate Filaments - create cell cohesion and prevent the acute
fracture of epithelial cell sheets under tension.
Vacuole – it helps maintain water balance and functions as storage,
waste disposal, protection, and growth.
Chloroplast – it converts light energy into relatively stable chemical
energy via the photosynthetic process.
Smooth ER – it makes cellular products like hormones and lipids.
Peroxisome – plays important roles in metabolism, reactive oxygen
species detoxification, and signaling.
Amyloplast – it is responsible for the storage of starch granules.
Cell Membrane – acts as a barrier keeping the constituents of the cell in
and unwanted substances out.
Cell Wall – surrounds the plasma membrane of the cell and provides
tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress.
Granules – serve as small container of starch in the plant cell.
Microtubules – they determine cell shape as they guide the deposition of
cellulose microfibrils.
Cytoplasm – supports and suspends organelles and cellular molecules.
