Plant cells are specialized into tissues much like animals. Their function is determined by their structure and placement withing the plant. Some offer support and structure for the plant, others provide a mechanism to transport water and minerals, others house large amounts of chlorophyll for photosynthesis, others are adapted to absorb water from the soil.
function of endoplasmic reticulum plant cells
Animal and plant cells are controlled by their nuclei.
Photosynthesis
Chloroplasts are only found in plant cells and not in animal cells. Their function is to help convert sunlight into energy for the plant.
The function of starch in plant cells is primarily the storage, and then the releasing, of biochemical energy.
The function of the cell membrane in a plant is to protect the nucleus, which is the cells brain.

Organelles in plant cells that function in photosynthesis or storage are called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the sun. Vacuoles are involved in storage of soluble carbohydrates or proteins.
Plant cells are typically rectangular in shape, but can also be square or elongated depending on their function and location within the plant.
