| A | B |
|---|
| cytoplasm | region between nucleus and membrane; jelly-like; contains the organelles. in both plant and animal cells |
| nucleus | large, oval body; it contains genetic material; control center of the cell; in both plant and animal cells |
| nucleolus | small, dark body in the nucleus; it makes ribosomes; in both plant and animal cells |
| chromosomes | structures found in the nucleus; contains genes that get passed on from parents; in both plant and animal cells |
| ER (Endoplasmic Reticulum) | a system of tubular passageways throughout the cytoplasm; it transports material throughout the cell; in both plants and animal cells |
| ribosomes | small, grain-like bodies (sometimes attached to the ER or float in the cytoplasm); produced in the nucleolus; proteins are made in them; in both plant and animal cells |
| cell wall | stiff, rigid layer outside the cell membrane of a plant cell; supports and protects the cell; in a plant cell |
| cell membrane | outer layer of a cell; elastic-like, contains pores; controls movement of material in/out of cell; in both plant and animal cell |
| mitochondria | rod-shaped organelle; located in the cytoplasm; has a smooth outer membrane and folded inner membrane; it's the "powerhouse" where energy is made; in both plant and animal cell |
| vacuole | large, roundish, water-filled sac in the cytoplasm; stores food, waste and water; helps keep plant cells rigid; in both plant and animal cell |
| lysosomes | small, round sacs in cytoplasm; break down food, organelle parts, dead cell parts, and things no longer needed by the cell. Material gets packaged and sent out of the cell; in animal cells, rarely in plant cells |
| Golgi body (golgi apparatus) | Highly folded membrane in the cytoplasm; package's materials from the ER & lysosomes to send in and out of the cell; in both plant and animal cells |
| chloroplasts | large, green structures in the cytoplasm; "chlorophyll"; capture energy from the sun and use it to produce food; in plant cell |
| eukaryotic cell | cell with many organelles; define nucleus; examples-amoeba, dog, human |
| prokaryotic cell | cell with few/no organelles; no defined nucleus; examples-bacteria, cyanobacteria |
