Cell Parts Continued

• Mitochondria: powerhouse of the cell

• E.R.: helps transports materials throughout the cell

• Vacuole: Stores water and waste

• Plant cells contain 1 LARGE vacuole.

• Animal cells contain multiple smaller vacuoles.

The following are only found in PLANT Cells

• Cell Wall: provides additional protection and helps cell keep its shape

• Chloroplast: contains green pigment called chlorophyll used for photosynthesis
