Which organelles are found in an animal cell? Check all that apply.

endoplasmic reticulum centrioles vacuoles lysosomes mitochondria cell membrane

In the text area below compare and contrast a cell membrane and cell wall.

A cell membrane, seen in plant and animal cells, is selectively permeable and made of a phospholipid bilayer. The cell membrane and cell.

In three (3) sentences, explain the function of a vacuole in plant cells.

A vacuole is used for temporary storage of water, waste products, food, and cellular material. Plants take in large amounts of water and need a place to store the water. Vacuoles are larger in plant cells than animal cells to store the water and other materials needed by the cell.

What is the function of the chloroplasts?

In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and supple leaves; and vacuoles allow plant cells to change size.
