My Cell Organelles Booklet

Prepared by: Abdullah Jaber

1) Nucleus

• Description: Is the largest organelle inside

most eukaryotic cells.
• Function: It directs cell activites and contains
genetic information stored in DNA .
• Analogy: School Principal directs the teachers
in a school.
2) Mitochondrion

• Description: Is surrounded by two membranes

• Function: Cells process some energy in
specialized organelles
• Analogy: staaf
3) Chloroplasts
• Description: Membrane-bound organelles.
• Function: Uses light energy to make food - a suger cold
glucose – from water and carbon dioxide in a process
known as photosynthesis.
• Analogy: cafeteria
4)Golgi apparatus
• Description: Near the ER and
looks like a stack of pancakes.
• Function: It prepares proteins
for their specific jobs or
functions. Then it packages the
proteins into tiny, membrane-
bound, ball-like structers called
vesicles.
• Anology: School bus
