nucleus where most of the genetic material (dna) of the cell is stored. found in both plant and animal cells chromatin (dna) nuclear pore nucleolus found in both plant and where the assembly of animal cells ribosomes begin chloroplast only in plant cells nucleolus chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the sun into sugars that can be used by cells. the site of photosynthesis. thylakoid stroma granum mitochondria "powerhouses" or "power plants" of the cell- create energy; sites of cellular respiration found in both plant and animal cells golgi apparatus “mail man” modifies, sorts, and temporarily stores proteins found in both plant and animal cells centriole organelle that helps with cell division. only in animal cells fluid-filled organelles that store materials such as food, water, sugar, minerals and waste products; much larger in plant cells found in both plant and animal cells many small vacuoles one large vacuole vacuole breaks down all waste, and brocken down organelles, in the cell. lysosome found in both plant and animal cells endoplasmic reticulum aka: "er" they carry materials throughout the cell. there are two types: the smooth er is not lined with ribosomes while the rough er is lined with ribosomes. found in both plant and animal cells rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough er) smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth er) form the structure that allows a cell to hold its shape and move itself. microfilaments ribosomes location of protein synthesis found in both plant and animal cells found in both plant and animal cells used for movement found in both plant and animal cells cilia & flagella only in plant cells the function of the cell wall is to give the cell strength and structure cell wall cell membrane separates the cell from the surrounding environment and functions as a barrier for the import and export of materials. the cell membrane is inside of the cell wall in plant cells found in both plant and animal cells cytoplasm a fluid, or gel-like substance, that fills the cell; the organelles and other particles float in it. found in both plant and animal cells dna (deoxyribonucleic acid) the carrier of genetic information. found in both plant and animal cells
