plant cell, the basic unit of all plants. Plant cells, like animal cells, are eukaryotic, meaning they have a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. Plant cells can be distinguished from most other cells by the presence of chloroplasts, which are also found in certain algae.

1. PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS
CELLS
Cell Membrane
Lysosome Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Rough E.R.
Nucleolus
Smooth E.R.
Nuclear
Membrane
Ribosomes
Vacuole
Golgi Body
Mitochondria
Organelle Function
Cell Membrane A double layer that supports and protects the cell. Allows materials in and out.
Lysosome Contains digestive enzymes that destroy damaged organelles and invaders.
Cytoplasm Jelly-like fluid that surrounds and protects the organelles.
Nucleus The control center of the cell. Contains the DNA
Nuclear Membrane Surrounds the nucleus.
Nucleolus A round structure in the nucleus that makes ribosomes.
Vacuole Stores food and water.
Golgi Body Processes and packages materials for the cell.
Mitochondria The “Powerhouse”. Breaks down food to produce energy in the form of ATP.
Rough E.R. Builds and transports substances through the cell. Has ribosomes on it.
Smooth E.R. Builds and transports substances through the cell. Does not have ribosomes.
Ribosome Helps make protein for the cell.
