Similarities in Animal and Plant Cells
 * They both have: **
 * Nucleus- DNA molecules in nucleus stores genetic information
 * Vaculoe- Plants and animals have different sized vaculoes but they are both used for storing water
 * Cell membrane- A fluid structure that contains the cells
 * Cytoskeleton- a microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules
 * Free ribosomes- unattached to membranes & produce proteins
 * Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- Produces lipids and proteins
 * Golgi apparatus- Processes and packs proteins and **lipids** as well as processing proteins for secretion

**LIPIDS:** Lipids are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, and others.

Differences Between Animal and Plant Cells  Animal cells have:
 * Lysosomes- Filled with enzymes that digest food particles, damaged organelles or microbes
 * Vesicle- Carries proteins & lipids from the Golgi apparatus to other cell compartments or from the outside membrane
 * Mitochondria- The site of aerobic cellular respiration. Uses energy in sugar to produce small molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is used for energy.
 * Golgi apparatus- Modifies and sorts proteins an lipids that have been synthesized in the cell

==<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: left;">Plant cells have: ==
 * Cell Wall- Provides support and protections
 * Chloroplasts- Uses the sun's energy, water and carbon dioxide to produce sugars & oxygen
