Cell surface membrane Golgi body

Present (phospholipid bilayer) Present

Plant Orchids Similar Linear DNA contained within the nucleus Present Layer which is an adhesive sticking agent between plant cells Made of cellulose in plants Channels in cell walls that allow transport and communication between cells Regions where the cell wall is very thin, arranged in pairs adjacent to each other between cells Small flattened structures surrounded by a double membrane. Contains other membranes inside called thylakoid membranes and are stacked to form grana, which are linked to form lamellae. Photosynthesis occurs here Present (phospholipid bilayer) Present

Lysosome Endoplasmic reticulum Nucleus Mitochondria Respiration Amyloplast

Present Present Present Present Occurs in mitochondria Not present

Present Present Present Present Occurs in mitochondria Small organelle enclosed by membrane, contain starch granules and are used for storage Vacuole surrounded by membrane (tonoplast). They contain the cell sap (water, enzymes, minerals and waste products). They keep the cells turgid. Are involved in the breakdown of unwanted chemicals. The tonoplast controls what enters and leaves
