part 3 - short

Explanation:

• Mitochondria: Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria as they are the power - houses of the cell, generating ATP.
• Cell Membrane: All cells (plant and animal) have a cell membrane that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
• Cell Wall: Only plant cells have a cell wall (made of cellulose) which provides structural support and protection. Animal cells lack a cell wall.
• Chloroplast: Only plant cells have chloroplasts (contain chlorophyll) which are involved in photosynthesis. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts.
• Vacuole (Large Central): Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole which stores water, nutrients, and waste. Animal cells may have small vacuoles but not a large central one.
• Small Vacuoles: Animal cells can have small vacuoles (e.g., in phagocytosis). Plant cells also have some small vacuoles but are dominated by the large central vacuole.
• Lysosomes: Animal cells have lysosomes (contain digestive enzymes). Plant cells may have lysosome - like structures but they are not as prominent as in animal cells.
• Ribosomes: Both plant and animal cells have ribosomes which are involved in protein synthesis.
• Smooth & Rough ER: Both plant and animal cells have smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The rough ER has ribosomes attached and is involved in protein synthesis, while the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
• Golgi Body: Both plant and animal cells have Golgi bodies (or Golgi apparatus) which are involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids.
