Parts of a Plant Cell Plant Cell Plant cells are the building blocks of all plants. Plant Cell Plant cells are composed of different parts. Each part has specific functions. The following are the parts of a plant cell: Cell Wall It is the protective part of the plant cell. It gives the plant cell its rectangular shape. Nucleus This round organelle is in the center of the cell. It controls all the activities of the plant cell. Vacuole Vacuoles help maintain water balance in plant cells. Golgi Apparatus It is the part that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules in the plant cell. Chloroplast It is the part that produces food in a plant cell. Mitochondria It is the power plant of the plant cell. Endoplamic Reticulum Two types of it are smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Parts of an Animal Cell Animal Cell An animal cell is the smallest biological unit of life found in animals. Animal Cell Animal cells are composed of different parts. Each part has specific functions. The following are the parts of an animal cell: Nucleus This round organelle is in the center of the cell. It controls all the activities of the animal cell. Vacuole Vacuoles help maintain water balance in animal cells. Golgi Apparatus It is the part that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules in the animal cell. Lysosome Lysosomes are organelles that help break down certain materials inside the cell. Cell Membrane All animal cells have a cell membrane. The cell membrane keeps the parts inside. Mitochondria It is the power plant of the animal cell. Endoplamic Reticulum Two types of it are smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
