Animal vs. Plant Cells

Animal vs. Plant Cells

1. Ribosomes: mRNA translation in protein synthesis.

2. Endoplasmic Reticulum: folding of protein molecules in sacs called cisternae and the transport of synthesized proteins in vesicles to the golgi apparatus.

3. Mitochondria: powerhouse of the cell, aerobic respiration to make ATP and release energy.

4. Nucleus: contains genetic material and controls the cell's activities.

5. Plasma Membrane: selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells.

6. Golgi Apparatus: modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion, also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes.

7. Centriole: help with cell division in animal cells.

8. Cell Wall: provide protection and support for the plant.

9. Vacuole: provides structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.

10. Chloroplasts: contain chlorophyll for photsynthesis.
