Cell Organelles Worksheet

Complete the following table by writing the name of the cell part or organelle in the right hand column that
matches the structure/function in the left hand column. A cell part may be used more than once.

Structure/Function Cell Part

Organelle
Function
1. Stores material within the cell Vacuole
2. The sites of protein synthesis Ribosome
3. Jelly-like substance in the cell Cytoplasm

4. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a Nucleus

eukaryotic cell

5. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from Chloroplast

sunlight and gives plants their green color
6. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and Lysosome
invading viruses or bacteria
8. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, Cell Wall
fungi, most bacteria and some protists
9. Produces a usable form of energy for the cell Mitochondria

10. Packages proteins for transport out of the cell Golgi Bodies

11. Site where ribosomes are made Nucleolus

12. Provides support for the cell Cytoskeleton

13. Responsible for transport materials within the cell Endoplasmic Reticulum
14. Small hair-like structures used for movement or Cilia
sensing things
17. A membrane surrounding the cell made of a phospholipid Cell Membrane
bilayer

18. Most organelles are in both plant and animal cells, but there are a few differences.

List three organelles that are only in plant cells: List one organelle that is only in animal cells:
1. Cell wall 1. Lysosome
2. Chloroplast
3. Vacuole (large, central vacuole)

19. The cell theory has three parts. They are mentioned in the Cell Song we listened to in class and in the textbook
work you completed. The cell theory says:
- _____ Cells _______ are the basic unit of life

- All cells come from __ other cells ________________________

- All living things are made of _ cells__________

20. Know the plan of cellular organization!

Cells are the basic unit of life.

Cells working together in a group form ___ Tissues_____________________.

Tissues working together in a group form _______ Organs ________________.

Organs working together in a group form __________ Organ Systems______________.

Organ systems working together in a group form ____ Organisms_________________________.

21. Most cells are too small to be seen without a ____ microscope _______________________________

22. An example of a very large cell, that you can see with just your eye is _____ an egg_____________________.

23. The scientist that discovered cells had the last name _____ Hooke ________________

24. Study hint: a EUKARYOTIC cell has a nucleus in it. Examples include plant cells and animal cells
a PROKARYOTIC cell has no nucleus, DNA floats in the cytoplasm. An example includes bacteria

25. Be able to identify the following parts of a cell:

Golgi body cell membrane vesicles DNA nucleolus
endoplasmic reticulum mitochondria nucleus cytoplasm ribosomes
