| A | B |
|---|
| Nucleus | where the genetic information is stored, controls the cell; (eukaryotic only) |
| Nucleolus | area in the nucleus where RNA is produced; (eukaryotic only) |
| Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum | responible for the synthesis of lipids; (eukaryotic only) |
| Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum | has ribosomes attached, transports proteins to the Golgi to eventually be secreted by the cell; (eukaryotic only) |
| Cytoplasm | the liquid and all the structures inside the cell; (both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells) |
| Golgi apparatus | packages, modifies, and transports substances (mostly protein) to the cell membrane for secretion; (eukaryotic only) |
| Mitochondria | produces most of the ATP energy needed by the cell; (eukaryotic only) |
| Peroxisome | conatains peroxidase enzymes that breakdown toxic peroxides; (eukaryotic only) |
| Ribosome | responsible for protein synthesis; (both types of cells) |
| Cell membrane | controlls what enters and leaves the cell; (both types of cells) |
| Vacuoles | sacks that function as storage; large central in plants, many small vacuoles in animal cells; (eukayotic only) |
| Lysosome | contains digestive (hydrolytic) enzymes that breakdown food and worn out organelles; (eukaryotic only) |
| Cell wall | Protects the cell and helps to maintain shape; (in prokaryotic cells and some eukaryotic cells-like plant, fungi, and some protists) |
| Chloroplast | carries out photosynthesis which produces carbohydrates; (eukaryotic plant cells only) |
| Centrioles | organize spindle fibers that assist in mitosis; (in eukaryotic animal cells only) |
| Flagella, cilia | used by the cell for movement; (found in both types of cells) |
| Chromosome | contains genetic information in the form of genes made of DNA; (both types of cells) |
