What part does an animal and a plant cell have?

An animal cell has a cell membrane, a thin layer of protein and fat. It allows substances to go into the cell and keeps others out. The cell membrane also has cytoplasm is a jelly like substance outside of the nucleus and holds the organelles. The cell also has a nucleus. The nucleus has a sphere like body that holds many organelles, including the nucleolus. The nucleus controls most of the protein sythnesis and contaisn DNA ( in chromosomes). The nucleus is surrounded by the nucleus membrane which provides the nucleus with stronger protection. An animal cell also has a nucleolus which produces ribosomal RNA. There is also a vacuole that is a fluid-filled, membrane-surrounded cavities inside the cell. It is filled with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell.

The centrosome is a small body located near the nucleus. It has a dense center and radiating tubules. The centrosomes is where microtubules are made. During mitosis, the centrosome divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole is the dense center of the centrosome. The Golgi Body is a flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes. The Golgi body holds proteins and carbohydrates into the membrane bound vesicles for export from the cell.The lysosome or cell vesicles are round organelles surrounded by a membrane and containing digestive enzymes. This is where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place. The mitochondrion is a spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane. The inner membrane is infolded many times, forming a series of projections, called cristae. The mitochondrion converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell.
