Organelles are compartmentalised structures that serve specific purposes Animal Cells Plant Cells

Examples of eukaryotic organelles include: ︎No chloroplast Have chloroplast


•  80S ribosomes – Responsible for protein synthesis (translation)
•  Nucleus – Stores genetic information (site of transcription) No cell wall Cell wall (cellulose)
•  Mitochondria – Site of aerobic respiration (ATP production)
•  Endoplasmic reticulum – Transports materials between organelles No plasmodesmata Plasmodesmata
•  Golgi complex – Sorts, stores, modifies & exports secretory products
•  Centrosomes – Involved in cell division (mitosis and meiosis) Temporary vacuoles Large central vacuole

Organelles found only in specific cell types include: Cholesterol present No cholesterol in
•  Chloroplasts – Site of photosynthesis (plant cells only) in the cell membrane the cell membrane
•  Lysosomes – Breakdown of macromolecules (animal cells)
Glucose → glycogen Glucose → starch
