Plants cells have the ability to change from one cell type to another and even develop into a whole plant - Plant cells can differentiate into another cell types. Photosynthetic cells of the leaf have the ability to dedifferentiate into other cell types. Contain a pigment called chlorophyll and are the site of photosynthesis. Larger than mitochondria by 5x or more. Cells can have one to several hundred chloroplasts. Have two outer membranes and circular chomosome. Have series of internal membrane-bound sacs called thylakoids. Plants organelles that make or store food or pigments. Leucoplasts lack pigment giving it a white colour - amyloplasts, elaioplasts, proteinoplasts. Chromoplasts are pigmented and are responsible for the coloration in leaves, flowers, and fruits. Plastids are versatile and can change from one type to another like cells. 90% by volume of a plant is occupied by the central vacuole. Central vacuoles does not have any contents and plays an important role in metabolism.
