  • cell membrane: controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. in both
  • cytoplasm: where chemical reactions take place, e.g. respiration. in both
  • nucleus: controls all of the activies of the cell and contains the information required to make new cells and new oragnisms. in both
  • ribosomes: where protein synthesis (making) occurs. found in the cytoplasm. can only see them using an electron microscope. in both
  • mitochondria: tiny structures where respiration takes place, releasing energy for cell processes. visible with light microscopes but can't be seen in detail. in both
  • animal cell
    A) cell membrane
    B) cytoplasm
    C) nucleus
    D) ribosome
    E) mitochondria
  • plant cell
    A) cell membrane
    B) cytoplasm
    C) cell wall
    D) chloroplast
    E) nucleus
    F) mitochondria
    G) large central vacuole
    H) ribosome
  • cell wall/cellulose: provides the plant cell with strength and support. in plant
  • chloroplasts: found in the green parts. contain chlorophyll which helps absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. in plant
  • large central/permanent vacuole: filled with cell sap. important for keeping the cells rigid to support the plant. in plant
