Plant and Animal Cell Organelles

Imagine you are a scientist studying the structure of cells. You notice a rigid layer that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms such as fungi. What is this structure called?

• Cell Wall

• Golgi Apparatus

• Chloroplast

• Cell Membrane

Imagine a large city. This city has a city hall that acts as the control center, directing all of the city's activities. What would this city hall be equivalent to in a cell?

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

• Golgi Apparatus

• Nucleus
