Nucleus
Controls cell activities and stores DNA; found in both plant and animal cells.
Mitochondria
Produces energy (ATP) through cellular respiration; found in both plant and animal cells.
Chloroplast
Converts sunlight into energy through photosynthesis; found in plant cells only.
Cell Membrane
Regulates what enters and leaves the cell; provides protection and support; found in both plant and animal cells.
Cell Wall
Provides structure and protection; found in plant cells only.
Ribosomes
Synthesizes proteins; found in both plant and animal cells.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Transports materials; rough ER has ribosomes (protein synthesis), smooth ER makes lipids; found in both plant and animal cells.
Golgi Apparatus
Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for transport; found in both plant and animal cells.
Lysosomes
Breaks down waste and digests materials; found mainly in animal cells (rare in plants).
Vacuole
Stores water, nutrients, and waste; large central vacuole in plant cells, smaller vacuoles in animal cells.
Cytoplasm
Jelly-like substance that holds organelles in place; found in both plant and animal cells.
Cytoskeleton
Provides shape and support; helps with cell movement; found in both plant and animal cells.
Centrioles
Helps in cell division (mitosis); found in animal cells only.
