Cells Comparison
Nucleus
100

This organelle is known as the "powerhouse" of the cell.

Mitochondria

100

This structure provides structural support and protection in plant cells.

Cell wall

100

This type of cell has a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and chloroplasts.

Plant cell

100

The nucleus acts as the ____________ for the cell.

Control center
200

This organelle contains the cell's genetic material

Nucleus

200

This organelle carries the DNA which contains the genetic material that carries information about the organism.

Chromosome

200

These cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

Bacteria cells

200

Copies the message of the DNA

RNA
300

This structure is responsible for protein synthesis.

Ribosomes

300

These structures aid in cell division in animal cells

Centrioles

300

Both plant and animal cells have this outer layer

Cell membrane

300

Creates ribosomes, found inside the nucleus.

Nucleolus

400

This organelle modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion.

Golgi Appratus

400

This organelle helps detoxify harmful substances in the liver.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

Within the chromosome is the ___________ responsible for providing the cell with its unique characteristics.

DNA

500

Small, round organelle involved with digestion.

Lysosome

500

This organelle helps maintain the shape and organization of the cell.

Cytoskeleton

500

This type of cell contains plasmids and a nucleoid region.

Bacteria cells

500
