All eukaryotic cells have within them a variety of different structures called organelles. Organelles are small and function much like organs function in a large organism. Some organelles are responsible for gathering cell energy, others for controlling cell activities.Note-although this organelle is also found animal cells, the vacuoles from plant cells are drastically bigger and play a much more important role in the processes of the cell.
