Organells In Plant And Animal Cells!!!

learn an animal cell's and plant cell's organells and thier functions!

Amyloplast (Plant only)

Amyloplast (Plant only)

Stores starch

Nucleus (both)

Controls cell activities; contains DNA

Chromatin (both)

Stores genetic information

Cell Membrane (both)

Controls what goes in/out of the cell; Maintaining homeostasis

Cell Wall (plant only)

Provides structure and support

Cytoplasm (both)

A gel-like substance that fills the cell allowing organelles to move. cytoplasm is also where chemical reactions take place in the cell.

Mitochondria (both)

Produces energy

Chloroplast (plant only)

Converts sunlight into glucose (photosynthesis)

Vacuole (both but larger in plant cells)

Stores water, nutrients, and waste

Rough ER (both)

distributes proteins

Smooth ER (both)

Makes lipids(fats) and detoxifies

Golgi Apparatus (both)

Packages and ships proteins

Ribosomes (both)

Make proteins

Lysosomes (both but rare in plants)

Break down waste and old cell parts

Peroxisomes (both)

Breaks down fatty acids and toxins

Centrioles (animal cell)

Helps in cell division

Nucleolus

Produces ribosomes

Cytoskeleton

Provides structure and support to the cell
