It looks like you want to categorize cellular structures based on whether they are found in animal cells, plant cells, or both. Here’s a simple guide:

| Structure | Animal Cell | Plant Cell | |--------------------|-------------|------------| | Nucleus | YES | YES | | Vacuoles | YES (small) | YES (large)| | Lysosomes | YES | NO | | Peroxisomes | YES | YES | | Cytoskeleton | YES | YES | | Ribosomes | YES | YES | | Golgi Apparatus | YES | YES | | Rough ER | YES | YES | | Mitochondria | YES | YES | | Chloroplasts | NO | YES | | Plasma Membrane | YES | YES | | Cell Wall | NO | YES |

Notes:

  • Vacuoles: Plant cells typically have a large central vacuole, while animal cells may have smaller, more numerous vacuoles.
  • Lysosomes: Mainly found in animal cells; plant cells use different compartments called lytic vacuoles that have similar functions.
  • Chloroplasts: Present only in plant cells and some protists for photosynthesis.
  • Cell Wall: Found in plant cells, fungi, and bacteria, but not in animal cells.
