Nucleus - Contains the genetic information (DNA) and controls some cell functions. Is present in every cell type except bacteria
Cell membrane - Is selectively permeable and controls the entry and exit of materials into and out of the cell. Is found in all cell types
Cell Wall - Provides structure and support to the cell. Made of cellulose in plants but other substances in fungal and bacterial cells, outermost layer of the cell. It is found in plant, fungal and bacterial cells.
Cytoplasm - Site of chemical reactions. found in all cell types
Vacuole - Contains cell sap, stores water, sugars and salts. is found only in plant and fungal cells
Ribosomes - Site of protein synthesis. Is found in all cell types
Mitochondria - Site of aerobic respiration to provide energy to the cell. Is found in plant, animal and fungal cells
Plasmid - Small circular ring of DNA. Is found only in bacterial cell
Chloroplast - Contains chlorophyll and is the site of Photosynthesis. Is found only in plant cells
plant, fungal and bacterial cells all have cell walls, only the cell wall of plant cells is made of cellulose, the fungal and bacterial cells are NOT
an organelle is a structure which performs specific functions inside the cell
bacterial cells lack membrane bound organs such as the nucleus or mitochondria
