Plasma Membrane – It is a thin semipermeable layer of the cell. It is composed of protein and
fats which surrounds the cell. Its purpose is to protect the inside of the cell from getting damage
from its surroundings. It also serves as the gate that controls the entry and exit of nutrients into
the cell.
Microvilli – It looks like a short tail attached to a cell. Its purpose is to increase the surface area
of the cell. It is useful for absorption and secretion of the cell.
Centrioles – These are paired, long barrel-shaped organelles in the cell. Its role is to help in
organizing microtubules which serves as the skeletal system of the cell.
Mitochondria – The cell’s powerhouse. It stores and release energy for the cell to function.
Lysosome – Are rounded organelles inside the cell which functions to help in the digestions,
excretion, and in the renewal of the cell.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum – Endoplasmic
Reticulum of the cell functions as protein factory of the cell. It produces proteins for the cell’s
function. The difference between the two Endoplasmic Reticulum is that the rough one has
ribosomes attached to it.
Ribosomes – Small organelles inside the cell which functions as the site of protein synthesis.
Nucleus – It is a round organelle found at the center of the cell. Its function is to control and
regulate the activities of the cell. It acts like the brain of the cell that controls all of its activities. It
also contains genetic identity, structures (DNA) of a living thing. Nucleus contains contain a sub-
organelle called nucleolus.
Nucleolus – It is found inside the nucleus. It functions to help the production and assembly of the
cell’s ribosomes.
Chromatin – It is also found inside the nucleus. It makes up a chromosome that contains DNA
and protein.
Cytoplasm – It is the region inside the cell where all of the organelles can be found. It holds them
to protect from damage and it also stores molecules essential for various cellular processes.
Golgi Apparatus – It is a sac-like organelle found near the nucleus. It is involved in the
manufacturing, storing, packaging, and transporting particles throughout the cell.

Chloroplast
Cell Wall

There are similarities between the parts and functions of plant and animal cell. There are
just some parts that are present only in the plant cell like cell wall and central vacuole.
Nucleus – It is a round organelle found at the center of the cell. Its function is to control and
regulate the activities of the cell. It acts like the brain of the cell that controls all of its activities. It
also contains genetic identity, structures (DNA) of a living thing. Nucleus contains contain a sub-
organelle called nucleolus.
Nucleolus – It is found inside the nucleus. It functions to help the production and assembly of the
cell’s ribosomes.
Endoplasmic Reticulum – Endoplasmic Reticulum of the cell functions as protein factory of the
cell. It produces proteins for the cell’s function. The difference between the two Endoplasmic
Reticulum is that the rough one has ribosomes attached to it.
Golgi Apparatus – It is a sac-like organelle found near the nucleus. It is involved in the
manufacturing, storing, packaging, and transporting particles throughout the cell.
Lysosome – Are rounded organelles inside the cell which functions to help in the digestions,
excretion, and in the renewal of the cell.
Cell Wall – The protective layer of the cell. It surrounds the cell membrane and provides tensile
strength for the plant cell.
Chloroplast – Is a plant cell organelle that coverts light energy from the sun into a chemical
energy through the photosynthesis function of the plant. It is a responsible organelle for the food
production of the plants.
Central Vacuole – It contains water and dissolved substances for the plant cell. Its role is to
maintain pressure against the inside of the cell wall.
Peroxisome – It has a main role in the oxidation of specific biomolecules for the plant. It also
functions for the plant cell in the recycling of carbon.
