Similarities Nucleus- “Brain of the cell.” It controls the activities

within the cell.

Nucleolus- Found within the nucleus and is the site where ribosomes are created.

Smooth ER

Similarities Plasma Membrane- serves as the “skin” of the cell.

Differences

Centriole- found only in ANIMAL cells. Main function is to generate the cells cytoskeleton.

Centrioles

Differences

Cell Wall- found in PLANTS only. It serves as a protective barrier, maintaining the shape and structure of the plant.

Cell Wall

Differences

Chloroplasts- only found in PLANTS. It provides food for the plant.

Chloroplasts

Differences

Chlorophyll- only found in PLANTS. Green pigment in plants that absorbs energy for the process of photosynthesis.
