Parts of Plant and Animal cell Cell membrane: Controls what substances enter and exit the cell Nucleus: Contains the cell\'s DNA and nucleolus, and is where most RNA is made Cytoplasm: A gel-like substance that contains other organelles, and where most chemical reactions and protein production take place Cytoskeleton: A network of microtubules and microfilaments that gives the cell structure and enables organelles to move Mitochondria: Organelles that break down sugars to release energy for the cell (Power house of the cell) Endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.): Moves proteins from one part of the cell to another Golgi apparatus: Packages proteins that are destined to leave the cell Lysosomes: Break down unwanted materials within the cell Vacuoles: Storage containers for the cell Chloroplasts: Found in plant cells, these organelles contain chlorophyll and are responsible for photosynthesis Cell wall: Found in plant cells, this structure provides the cell with structure
