Parts of a plant cell
Why?
A plant cell has everything an animal cell has plus a stiff cell wall, green chloroplasts and a big water-filled vacuole.
A plant cell is built like a box: the cardboard box is the wall, a big water balloon inside is the vacuole and green beads are the chloroplasts.

A leaf cell fills with water so its vacuole swells and the cell stands firm; when the water drains away the leaf droops.
