| prokaryotic cell | found in single cell organisms like bacteria |
| eukaryotic cell | found in plant, fungi, animal and protist cells |
| chloroplast | found only in plant cell |
| cell wall | 1. found only in plant cell 2. gives shape and support to the plant cells |
| lysosome | breaks down food material for consumption by the cell |
| golgi bodies | sort proteins and other cellular materials in order to store and release vital chemicals |
