In addition, plants also have cell wall as shown below
Cell Membrane
It is the outer covering of cells
It separates one cell from other cell
It is porous (allows liquid to pass through)
So, it helps movement of substances both inside and outside the cell
Nucleus
It is center part of cells.
It is spherical in shape
It has different parts like Nuclear Membrane, Nucleolus and Chromosomes
Cytoplasm
It is jelly like substance between cell membrane and nucleus
it has different parts like vacuoles ,plastids etc
All these are called organelles of cells
