Differences and Similarities
Cell Wall
A stiff wall
surrounding
the cell
membrane,
giving plant
cells a rigid
shape.
Chloroplast
Captures
energy from
sunlight and
uses it to
produce
food for the
cell.
Lysosome
Contains
chemicals
that break
down food
and old cell
parts. Only
found in
some plant
cells.
Vacuole
Stores water,
food, and
waste
products.
Plant cells
have one
large
vacuole.

Animal
Contains
chemicals
that break
down food
and old cell
parts. Found
in ALL animal
cells and in
greater
amounts.

Differences
Vacuole
Stores water,
food, and
waste
products.
Animal cells
have several
smaller
vacuoles.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A network of
passages
that carries
materials
throughout
the cell and
help form
proteins.

center of the
cell and
holds the
DNA.

Nuclear Membrane
A thin
membrane
with many
pores that
surrounds the
nucleus to
protect it.
Chromatin
Thin strands
floating in
the nucleus,
containing
genetic
material
used to
instruct cell
function.
Cell Membrane
Thin
membrane
that controls
which
substances
can enter or
leave the
cell.
Nucleolus
Found in the
nucleus, it
stores
materials to
be used by
the other
organelles.
Golgi Body
Receives
proteins from
the ER and
package
and
distribute
them to
other parts
of the cell.
Mitochondria
Creates
energy for
the cell – the
Powerhouse
of the cell.

Cytoplasm
A gel like
fluid in which
many
different
organelles
are found.
Ribosomes
Small
structures
that function
as factories
to produce
proteins.
Can be
attached to
ER or floating
freely.
