Vacuole Stores water and food in both plant and animal cells (larger in plants)
Structures How the parts are put together
Centrioles Tube-like structures that exists in pairs in animal cells; guides the chromosomes during cell division

Cell Wall Surrounds the cell membrane of a plant cell to give structure and protection to the cell
Cell Theory Cells are the basic unit of all living things, all living things are composed of one or more cells, all cells come from pre-exisiting cells
Chloroplast Green organelle in plant cells that converts light energy into chemical energy
Chromosomes Found in the nucleus and made of DNA, these contain genetic information of the cell
Cilia Hair-like structures that extend from the surface of the cell to help with movement
Cytoplasm Jelly-like material that fills the cell; and in eukaryotic cells, surrounds the nucleus
