| cell wall | strong and rigid wall that supports and protects the cell. outermost layer. ONLY plant |
| Nucleus | the control center of the cell + contains all the cell's genetic material. directs the cell's activities. both plant/animal |
| cytoplasm | the cellular fluid that makes up that all other organelles are suspended on. 80% water + rest are fats, proteins, carbonhydrates, + salts. both plant/animals |
| ribosomes | make proteins. either free-floating or attached to rough ER. both have it |
| mitochondria | the "powerhouse" of the cell, makes cell's energy (ATP) using celluar respiration. both animal/plant |
| lysosomes | contain enzymes to break down damaged organelles, waste, and invaders in the cell. ONLY animal |
| Vacuoles | storage in the cell. in animal cells they store food + water and help with waste removal, and are temporary. bigger in plants. in BOTH |
