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
Selective gateway of the cell; allows some molecules in, not others.
1. Organelle where photosynthesis happens, contains stroma and grana
2. The sites of protein synthesis, found on the rough E.R.
3. Transports proteins to the Golgi body
4. The goo of water and proteins that the organelles float in and where
metabolic activities occur.
5. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions, only found
in a eukaryotic cell
6. Converts sugar to energy in both plant and animal cells
7. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading
viruses or bacteria; the assassin of the cell
8. Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum
9. Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products
10. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi,
most bacteria and some protists
11. Stacks of flattened green sacs filled with chlorophyll, a green pigment
that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color
12. Processes and packages enzymes and proteins for transport outside
13. Everything inside the cell including the nucleus, goo plus stuff.
14. Site where ribosomes are made
478178112
15. The membrane surrounding the cell, composed of a phospholipid
bilayer
16. A system that provides support for the cell and transportation of
organelles, includes microtubules and microfilaments
17. Longer whip-like structures used for movement
18. Part of the cytoskeleton, a hollow tube bundles to which spindle
fibers connect.
19. Small hair-like structures used for movement or sensing things
20. Holes in the nuclear envelope where RNA comes out
Put each of the following organelles into one of the four columns, based on their role in metabolism.
Metabolism: chemically converting food molecules into energy and using that energy to build
molecules that makes tissues.
Lysosomes
Mitochondria
Ingestion (taking in)
Digestion (breaking
down)
Plasma membrane
Respiration (release
energy in food)
Vacuoles
Storage and
Excretion (hold and
get rid of)
Put a check in the appropriate column(s) to indicate whether the following organelles are found in
plant cells, animal cells or both.
