Plant and animal cells

"powerhouse of the cell" breaks down sugar molecules to release energy, site of cellular respiration, double membrane, self-replicating, contains own DNA, cristae

• Mitochondria
• Chloroplast
• Cell Wall
• Vesicle

"Storage tanks" Can hold food, water or waste for the cell

• Ribosomes
• Vacuole
• Chloroplast
• Nucleolus

Makes proteins for the cell, can be found attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or free in the cytoplasm

• Cell Wall
• Golgi Body
• Ribosome
• Cytoplasm

"Gatekeeper" Separates the cell from the rest of the environment and helps control what passes in and out of the cell.  Semi-permeable: allows some materials to pass through but not all

• Cell Wall
• Cytoplasm
• Mitochondria
• Cell Membrane
