| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell membrane: | The cell membrane is in both plants and animals.The function of it is to control what goes in and out of the cell. |
| What is the function of Cytoplasm: | In both in animals and plants.The gel-like substance that other organelles float around in and is the site of most chemical reactions that happen in the cell. |
| Nucleus: | In both animals and plants.Referred to as the “Brain” of the cell and controls all cellular activity and contains chromosomes (DNA). |
| Nuclear membrane: | The nuclear membrane determines what goes in and out of the nucleus. |
| Nucleolus: | In both animals and plants and builds (synthesizes) ribosomes. |
| Ribosomes: | In both animals and plants and makes proteins for the cell. (Protein synthesis) |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): | In both animals and plants and it is the transport system for materials in the cell. (Smooth ER-No ribosomes) ((Rough ER-Has ribosomes attached to it) |
| Mitochondria: | In both animals and plants.Produces energy (ATP) for the cell and is the sight of respiration.(Where respiration happens.) |
| Vacuole: | In both animals and plants.Stores food,water,and waste products. |
| Centrioles: | Helps in animal cell division. (Mitosis) Has tube-shaped structures. |
| Cell Wall: | Stiff structure that encloses,supports,and protects the cells of plants.(Made of complex sugars) |
| Chloroplasts: | In plants and is the site of photosynthesis.(Absorbs light and makes plants green.) |
| Large central vacuole: | In both animals and plants and stores food,water and waste. |
