section 5

• Organelles found in both plant and animal cells are: nucleus, ER(smooth and rough), vesicles, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, ribosomes, mitochondria, nucleolus, and cell membrane.
• Organelles found only in animal cells are: centrioles and vacuoles.
• Centrioles functions during cell division.
• Vacuoles are several membrane bound structures for storage. They contain water, ions, and waste.
• Animal cells tend to be more round or oval in shape.
• Organelles found only in plant cells are: cell wall, chloroplast, and central vacuole.
• A plant's cell wall is a thick wall(rigid) outside the cell membrane. It provides support and helps maintain cell shape and protects cells from damage. It is made of proteins and carbohydrates(cellulose). It connects the cell with other adjacent(next to) cells.
• Chloroplast carries out photosynthesis. Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy(glucose). Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which makes plants appear green.
• The central vacuole stores water, minerals, and waste products. The vacuole also maintains turgor pressure (pressure inside the cell that keeps it rigid)
• The central vacuole is a single organelle that is very large.
• Plant cells tend to be more rectangular in shape.
