a)mitochondria, vacuole, nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm
b)mitochondria, vacuole, nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell wall, chloroplasts
c)mitochondria, vacuole, nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts
d)mitochondria, vacuole, nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall

Answer 1

Answer: Cell Membrane

Cytoplasm

Ribosomes

Nucleus (there are lots of things inside the Nucleus that can be found in both)

Mitochondria

Nuclear Membrane

Endoplasmic Reticulum

Golgi Body

Answer 2

a)Mitochondria, vacuole, nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm are found in both plant and animal cells.

• Both plants and animals have a well-organized nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
• Chloroplasts help in the process of photosynthesis. These are unique to photosynthetic organisms like plants and a few bacteria.
• Plant cells have extremely large vacuoles that occupy most of the space in them while animal cells have small vacuoles. (Both have vacuoles)
• Plant cells have an outermost cellulosic wall called the cell wall while animal cells lack any such wall.
