Plant eukaryotic
Centrosome
Helps microtubules assemble into spindle fibers (for cell division)
Animal eukaryotic
Amyloplast
Stores extra glucose from photosynthesis as starch
Plant eukaryotic
Peroxisome
Helps oxidize molecules, breaks down toxins
Plant and animal eukaryotic
Nucleolus
Region in nucleus where ribosomes assembled
Plant and animal eukaryotic
Nucleus
Stores DNA, controls + regulates cell activity
Plant and animal eukaryotic
Cytoskeleton Fibers
Help give cells shape, can be used to move items in cell
Eukaryotic and prokaryotic (different in both)
