Structure FunctionFound in

animal cells (X)

Found in plant cells (X)

Cell WallRigid outer boundary of the plant cell.

Provides protection.  X

Cell MembraneOuter boundary of the animal cell.

Controls what enters and leaves the cell.X X

CytoplasmGel like material that fills the inside of the

cell and holds the organelles in place.X X

NucleusDirects all of the cells activities including

reproduction. Contains the DNA.X X

NucleolusCenter of the nucleus where ribosomes

are made.X X

Nuclear EnvelopeProtects the nucleus. Materials can pass

in and out of the many small pores.X X

ChloroplastsCapture sunlight and use it to produce

food for the plant cell.  X

Golgi bodyReceives materials and proteins from the ER and sends them to other parts of the

cell.X X

MitochondriaOval shaped organelles that produce

chemical energy for the cell.X X

Chromatin Threadlike material on the inside of the

nucleus. Contains the DNA.X X

RibosomesLittle factories that produce proteins –

found on the rough ER and in the cytoplasm. Made in the nucleolus.

Rough Endoplasmic

Reticulum

Similar to Smooth ER but with ribosomes attached – usually found closer to the nucleus
