It does not have the same function in plant cells. Plant cells use sunlight as their energy source; the sunlight must be converted into energy inside the cell in a process called photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are the structures that perform this function. read more
Yes, plant cells, just like all other cells, have a cell membrane. The plant cell membrane is right inside the plant cell wall. The plant cell membrane still functions as a semi-permeable barrier to control what goes in and out of the cell. read more
Plant cells are somewhat unique because unlike animal cells, plant cells contain both a cell wall and cell membrane. Animal cells only have the cell membrane. The cell membrane is a semi-permeable covering surrounding the outside of the cell. read more
Best Answer: Plants have a cell wall secreted by the cell and provides mechanical support to the plasma membrane that is pressed tightly against the cell wall by turgor pressure created by the central vacuole. read more
