Animal Cell

Plant cells typically don’t have flagella, but plant cells do have cell walls, chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles- all of which are absent in this cell.

Structure A: CytoplasmThe cytoplasm is the region between

nucleus and cell membrane containing cytosol, a gel-like fluid that surrounds all cell parts and keeps them suspended in place inside the cell.

Structure B: Flagella

Flagella are threadlike structures that allow a cell to move by rotating and propelling the cell forward.

Structure C: Mitochondria

The mitochondria supplies the cell with most of its energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is why it is commonly called the “powerhouse” of the cell.

Structure D: Ribosome

Ribosomes are the smallest organelles in a cell, and they are not surrounded by a membrane. They are responsible for making proteins, or protein synthesis.

Structure E: Nucleus

Commonly called the “information center” or “control center” of the cell, this structure contains the cell’s instructions, or DNA.

Structure F: Cell MembraneThe cell membrane encloses the cell and

separates the cell interior. It also plays a role in the transport of particles into and out of the cell, and cell to cell communication.

Structure G: Cell Wall

The cell wall is a thick layer that surrounds the cell membrane for extra protection and structural support. It is typically made of cellulose.

Structure H: Chloroplast

• Chloroplasts are green colored organelles that use light energy to make carbon compounds that can provide the plant with energy in a process called photosynthesis. The pigment that makes these organelles appear green is called chlorophyll.

Structure I: Central VacuoleThis is a large internal compartment of the

cell that stores water, ions, nutrients, and waste. It also helps the plant cell keep its shape by filling up much of the empty space in the cytoplasm.

Plant Cell

This cell has a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole. It is also box-like in shape. These are all characteristics of a plant cell.

Bacteria

This is also known as a prokaryotic cell. It has no true nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles (remember, ribosomes do not have membranes around them).
