Explanation:

• Ribosome: Found in both animal and plant cells as they are essential for protein synthesis in all eukaryotic cells.
• Endoplasmic reticulum: Present in both animal and plant cells. It has roles in protein and lipid synthesis.
• Golgi apparatus: Located in both animal and plant cells. It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids.
• Cell wall: Only in plant cells. It provides structural support and protection.
• Vacuoles: In plant cells, there is a large central vacuole. Animal cells have small vacuoles. But generally, vacuoles are present in both (with differences in size and function prominence).
• Lysosomes: Mainly in animal cells. Plant cells have some lysosome - like functions but not the distinct lysosome organelle in the same way as animals.
• Mitochondria: In both animal and plant cells as they are the power - houses (produce ATP through cellular respiration).
• Cell membrane: In both animal and plant cells. It regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
• Cytoplasm: In both animal and plant cells. It is the fluid - like substance where organelles are suspended.
• Chloroplasts: Only in plant cells. They are the site of photosynthesis.
