This document discusses and compares the organelles found in plant and animal cells. It describes the cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts, vacuoles, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, lysosomes, and Golgi complex. The cell membrane shapes the cell and regulates what enters and exits, while the cell wall provides structure and protection only in plant cells. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis in plant cells. Vacuoles provide structure, storage, and waste disposal and are larger in plant cells. Other organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, ER, ribosomes, lysosomes, and Golgi complex have similar functions in both plant and animal cells, such as generating energy
