Plant cells have a rigid cell structure. They are made up of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus, and chloroplasts. Plants feel firm because of their cellular walls.

Altering this amino acid and the chemical modification can dramatically disrupt chloroplast development and structure, said Yoon, who is also a member of the Purdue Center for Plant Biology.
