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 |
1. Stores material within the cell |
|
2. Closely stacked, flattened sacs (plants only) |
|
3. The sites of protein synthesis |
|
4. Transports materials within the cell |
|
5. The region inside the cell except for the nucleus |
|
6. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell |
|
7. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color |
|
8. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria |
|
9. Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum |
|
10. Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products |
|
11. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protests |
|
12. Produces a usable form of energy for the cell |
|
13. Packages proteins for transport out of the cell |
|
14. Everything inside the cell including the nucleus |
|
15. Site where ribosomes are made |
|
16. The membrane surrounding the cell |
|
17. Provides support for the cell, has two “subparts” |
|
18. Name for the collection of DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells |
|
19. Consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell |
|
20. Small hair-like structures used for movement or sensing things |
|
21. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer |
|
22. Longer whip-like structures used for movement |
|
