● Found:In PLANTS but not animal cells.

● Allows plants to grow tall, like bricks in a

wall.

Chloroplasts

● Function: To make food (glucose)

through photosynthesis.

● Found: ONLY in plant cells!

● *Chlorophyll (green) absorbs

sunlight.

Mitochondria

● Function: Convert chemical energy stored in

glucose into energy (Cellular Respiration)

● Found: In ALL Eukaryotic Cells (Plant and

Animal)

● More mitochondria are found in muscle cells

than skin.

● Function: Jelly-like material inside the

cell membrane. All organelles can be
found here.

● Found: In ALL Cells (Plant and Animal)
