What is the function of a plant organelle found in plant cells?

There are three organelles (at basic high school level, that is) that are found in plant cells that are not found in animal cells.

The Chloroplasts: These contain chlorophyll, a green pigment that is needed for photosynthesis.

The Vacuole: This acts as a storage unit, containing minerals and nutrients needed for the plant. (At high school level, though at higher level you learn slightly differently.)

The Cell Wall: This provides structure and support to the plant cell.

I hope this helps.
