Select everything that describes cell walls.
Found in plants
Structure: a rigid outer layer
Structure: a soft outer layer
Function: protects and supports the cell
Function: controls what goes into and out of the cell
Select everything that describes cell membranes.
Found in both plant and animal cells
Structure: a thin flexible membrane

Function: stores water, food, and other materials
Select everything that describes mitochondria.
Found in both plant and animal cells
Structure: rod-shaped
Structure: a rigid outer layer
Function: breaks down food to release energy to power all the cell's activities (powerhouse of the cell)
Function: convert the sun's energy into food (sugar) for the plant in a process called photosynthesis

Found in plants
Structure: rod-shaped
Structure: green stacks
Function: breaks down food to release energy to power all the cell's activities (powerhouse of the cell)
