Cell Membrane | - Both cells - Controls what goes in and out of the cell. |
Cell Wall | - Provides structural strength and support to plant cells. |
Cytoskeleton | - Both cells - Supports and shapes the cell, helps position and transport organelles, provides strength, and aids cell movement. |
Cytoplasm | - Both cells - Responsible for holding the components of the cell, protecting them from damage. |
Smooth ER | -Both cells -Produces lipids and acts as a transport system. |
Rough ER | -Both cells -Produces proteins and acts as a transport system. |
Nucleus | -Both cells - Controls cell Function |
Nucleolus | - Both cells - Inside nucleus - Produces ribosomes |
Nuclear Envelope | - Both cells - Separates the contents of the nucleus from Cytoplasm providing structure for the nucleus. |
Ribosomes | - Both cells - Produces proteins |
Lysosome | - Both cells - Break down Food, waste, etc in a cell. |
Vacuole | - Both Cells - Stores Food, proteins, water, etc. |
Central Vacuole | -Plant Cells - Stores salts, minerals, nutrients, proteins, playing important structural support. |
Golgi Body | -Both Cells - Packages proteins for transport. |
Mitochondria | -Both cells -Produces energy for the cells |
Chloroplast | - Plant cells - Produces energy in the form of sugar. |
Cilia | - Both cells - Many hairs around a cell that help with movement. |
Flagella | -Both cells -One to three long tails that help cells move. |
