Golgi Complex	Flat membranous sacs that are the site of final protein synthesizing and packaging (into vesicles) to be secreted out of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus	Flat membranous sacs that are the site of final protein synthesizing and packaging (into vesicles) to be secreted out of the cell.
Vacuole	Large and permanent in Plants - Provides support in structure and is enclosed in the Tonoplast. Small and Temporary in Animals - Very small and numerous found in the cell, Holds nutrients
