A plant is made up of microscopic living structures called cells. Like animal cells, plant cells have a nucleus and an oily membrane surrounding the whole cell. A plant cell is also encased in a tough cell wall and usually contains a large, fluid-filled bubble called a vacuole.he stem is the main support of the upright plant, and connects the roots and leaves. It contains bundles of microscopic tubes â xylem vessels, carrying water and minerals, and phloem vessels, carrying food. The stem also has cells with special thickened walls that help to provide strength.
Living organisms are composed primarily of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Other elements in living matter include calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace amounts of other elements. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. The oceans also contain salt, made up of sodium and chlorine. The atmosphere is mostly made up of the element nitrogen, existing in diatomic form (N2). It also includes oxygen, carbon (in carbon dioxide) and a small amount of other elements.
