A animal cell


Lysosomes: They process proteins using various enzymes and also works as a garbage disposal by breaking down waste products.

Rough and smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: Both rough and smooth serve as the cell's assembly line and is where protein products are put together using instructions in chromosomes. It also connects different organelles within a cell and is sometimes known as the "highway".

Chromosomes: Are found inside the nucleus and is where DNA is located.

Golgi Aparatus: Are the cells packaging centers and is where proteins are mixed with other chemicals.

Cell Membrane: It surrounds the outside of a cell and allows certain substances like glucose and oxygen into the cell and waste and carbon dioxide out.

Nucleus: It is the control center of a cell and is sometimes called the brain of a cell.

Cytoplasm: It is jelly-like and is made of water minerals vitamins and salts. Organelles float in the cytoplasm.

Mitochondria: Is made of a highly folded membrane which means more surface area. It is also where cell respiration takes place and is sometimes called the "powerhouse" of a cell.

Ribosomes: Connect amino acids one at a time to build proteins.

Vacuole: Large sacs in both plant and animal cells that are used to store water and sugars. They are larger in plant cells.

Organelles: Are little organs inside of cells.

Plant


Cell Wall: Surrounds the cell membrane in a plant cell and provide a rigid layer for the cell.

Vacuole: See animal Vacuole

Chloroplasts: Are tiny green organelles and is where photosynthesis takes place in a plant cell.
