Organells

__Cell Wall __ Location: plants Description: The outer layer is rigid, strong, and stiff. The cell is made up of cellulose. Function: support the plant, protect the plant, and allows H2O, O2, and CO2 to pass in and out of the cell   __Cell Membrane __  Location: plants and animals Description: Inside the plant the cell membrane is behind the cell wall. Inside an cholesterol. The cell membrane is also selectively permeable. Function: Support and protect the plant or animal. Controls movement of materials in and out of a cell. Cell Membrane is the barrier between a cell and its environment.   __Nucleus __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 14pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';
