Plant cells are eukaryotic cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom

Plantae. Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and
pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a
large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or centrioles, except in the
gametes, and a unique method of cell division involving the formation of a cell plate or phragmoplast
that separates the new daughter cells.
