Cell Membrane: Surrounds the cell and only allows certain materials to move into and out of the cell

Nucleus: Directs all the activities of the cell.  It is like a mananger of the cell

Vacuole: A temporary storage place for the cell (like a suitcase)

Vesicles: Transports protein packages created by teh golgi bodies

Mitochondria: Releases energy for the cell

Lysosomes: Digests wastes and worn-out cell parts

Endoplasmic Reticulum: Moves materal around the cel, like a system of conveyor belts

Cytoplasm: Gel-like material inside the cell membrane and outside the nucleus

Chloroplasts: Takes in sunlight, water and carbon dioxide and converts it to food

Prokaryote Cells: Cells that DO NOT have a nucleus

Eukaryote Cells: Cells that have a nucleus

Tissue: A group of like cells that group together to make an organ

Organ: A structure (such as a heart, kidney, ttc.) that is made of tissues and performs some specific function in an organism

Organ System: Organs working together for a specific function

ANSWER: 
(1) Plant cells have chloroplasts.
(2) Plant cells have a large central vacuole, while animal cells have smaller vacuoles.
(3) Plant cells have a cell wall.
