The document describes the organelles found in animal and plant cells. In animal cells, the nucleus contains DNA, the cytoplasm protects cell parts, and the cell membrane controls movement into and out of the cell. Other animal cell organelles include the endoplasmic reticulum which transports materials, lysosomes which digest materials, vacuoles which store materials, mitochondria which produce energy, ribosomes which make proteins, and the Golgi body which sorts and packages materials. Plant cells have additional organelles including a cell wall which protects the cell and allows movement of materials, and chloroplasts which produce food for the plant cell using chlorophyll.

1. Cell Organelles

2. Animal Cell Cytoplasm Cell Membrane Endoplasmic Reticulum Nucleus Mitochondria Vacuole Ribosome Golgi Body Lysosome

3. Nucleus The control center of the cell and contains the DNA

4. Cytoplasm Protects cell parts from damage by acting like a shock absorber within the cell

5. Cell Membrane Provides protection and controls the movement of materials into and out of the cell

6. Endoplasmic Reticulum Transports materials around the cell

7. Lysosome Digest (break down) food, waste, or old cell structures

8. Vacuole Stores water, food, and wastes in the cell

9. Mitochondria Produces the power or energy needed by burning food obtained or produced in the cell.

10. Ribosome Makes protein for the cell

11. Golgi Body Sorts proteins and other substances and then packages them into vesicles to travel around or out of the cell

12. Plant Cell Cell Wall Chloroplast

13. Cell Wall Provides protection and allows food and oxygen into the cell while moving waste out of the cell

14. Chloroplast Makes the food for the plant cell and contains chlorophyll
