 Cell Structure
Organelle/ Description of Structure & Function Present Where
Structure Plants Animals
Cytoplasm Protects genetic material. It is like a gel. Yes Yes

Nucleus Contains the genetic material and the proteins and forms Yes Yes
chromosomes.

Nucleolus Produces and assembles the cells ribosomes. yes Yes

Vacuole Plant cells, help maintain water. In animal cells, helps yes yes
sequester waste products.

Lysosome Contains digestive enzymes, breaks down excess or No yes

worn out cell parts.

Cytoskeleton Helps the cells maintain shape and provides mechanical yes yes
support that helps the cells perform all functions.

Ribosome Synthesize proteins that are in the cell yes yes

Endoplasmic Smooth: it synthesis of lipids, carbs, and yes yes

Reticulum exogenous substances.
Rough: produce proteins for the rest of the cells to yes yes
function.
Golgi Apparatus Packages proteins into vesicles. yes yes

Chloroplast Allows plants to have energy from the Sun, helps with Yes No
their structure and the vacuoles.

Mitochondria Generates most of the chemical energy and helps power yes yes
the biochemical reactions.

Cell Wall Provides strength and protects the cells Yes No

Cell Membrane Barrier to the cell and keeps unwanted substances out yes yes
and gates transport of nutrients and movement.
