Explanation:

• Bacterial Cell (Prokaryote): Bacterial cells are prokaryotes. They have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan (from the word - bank), contain DNA (all cells have genetic material), ribosomes (for protein synthesis).
• Animal Cell (Eukaryote): Animal cells are eukaryotes. They have centrioles (involved in cell division), lysosomes (digestive organelles), mitochondria (power - house of the cell).
• Plant Cell (Eukaryote): Plant cells are eukaryotes. They have a cell wall made of cellulose (from the word - bank), chloroplasts (for photosynthesis), large vacuoles (for storage).
• Common to Bacterial and Plant Cells: Both have cell walls (but different composition - peptidoglycan in bacteria and cellulose in plants), contain DNA, have ribosomes.
• Common to Animal and Plant Cells (Eukaryotes): Both have a nucleus (in plant cells, animal cells have a well - defined nucleus as eukaryotes), endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus.

Answer:

• Bacterial Cell: Prokaryotes, cell wall (peptidoglycan), contain DNA, ribosomes.
• Animal Cell: Eukaryotes, centrioles, lysosomes, mitochondria.
• Plant Cell: Eukaryotes, cell wall (cellulose), chloroplasts, vacuoles.
• Common to Bacterial and Plant: Cell wall (different types), contain DNA, ribosomes.
• Common to Animal and Plant: Nucleus, ER, Golgi apparatus.
