• Control center of the cell.

Organelle that breaks down food molecules into energy.

Structure that serves as a storage container for food, water and excess waste.

• A structure that surrounds the cell membrane.•FOUND IN A PLANT CELL ONLY!!!!

CHLOROPLASTPhotosynthesis occurs.FOUND IN A PLANT CELL ONLY!!!!

• Living gel-like material inside the cell.•FOUND IN BOTH A PLANT AND ANIMAL CELL!!!!!

•ORGANELLES: •CELL WALL AND CHLOROPLASTS

•SHAPE•ANIMAL CELL IS ROUND•PLANT CELL IS SQUARE

•VACUOLES•PLANT CELL HAS ONE LARGE VACUOLE•ANIMAL CELL HAS MANY SMALL AND SCATTERED VACUOLES
