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. Where photosynthesis takes place
2. Closely stacked, flattened sacs that packages waste for exocytosis
3. The sites of protein synthesis, located on rough ER and in cytoplasm
4. Transports materials within the cell but does not have ribosomes
5. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell
6. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight.
7. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses
8. Has small bumps and transport proteins
9. Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products
10. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants
11. Produces a usable form of energy (ATP) for the cell though cell respiration
12. Packages proteins
13. Site where proteins are made
14. The phospholipid by-layer that determines what enters and exits the cell
15. Provides instructions for the ribosomes to make proteins
16. Takes up most of the space in a plant cell and stores water and nutrients
17. Consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell
18. Small hair-like structures used for movement or sensing things
19. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer
20. Longer whip-like structures used for movement

31. The combined observations of Matthias Scleidan, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchin resulted in the formation of
the cell theory. Which of the following is NOT part of this theory?
A. All cells come from existing cells.
C. All cells contain a nucleus
B. The cell is the basic unit of living things
D. All organisms are made up of one or more cells
32. Which sentence BEST explains how the LACK of a folded inner membrane in mitochondria would affect a cell?
A. The cell would not be able to reproduce because it would lack DNA.
B. The cell would have less energy because the vacuoles would be unable to contract.
C. The cell would not be able to produce proteins because there would be no ribosomes.
D. The cell would have less energy because the mitochondria would hold less ATP enzymes.
33. A student conducted an experiment on the gas production of a water plant. She placed a beaker upside down over a
water plant submerged in water and collected the gas that the water plant produced when kept in sunlight. After 6
hours, the contents of the test tube were analyzed and a significant amount of oxygen was measured. Which of the
following organelles was responsible for the change?
A. Central vacuole
B. nucleus
C. chloroplast
D. cell wall
34. Which would happen if the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lost all of its ribosomes?
A. Protein production on the ER would stop.
B. Storage of proteins with in the cell would increase.
C. ATP production in the cell would stop.
D. Proteins would no longer be packaged and exported from the cell.
35. Which structure is MOST like the town library, where information to help run the town is stored?
A. Ribosome
B. Nucleus
C. mitochondrion
D. chloroplast
36. Which of the following are all present in animal cells?
A. mitochondria, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm
B. chloroplasts, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus
C. nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria, cytoplasm
D. vacuole, cell membrane, nucleus, mitochondria
37. Which of the following correctly matches an organelle with its function?
A. mitochondrion . . . photosynthesis
C. nucleus . . . cellular respiration
B. ribosome . . . manufacture of lipids
D. central vacuole . . . storage
38. Place the levels of cellular organization in order from smallest to largest.
A. cell, organ system, tissue, organ
C. tissue, organ system, organ, cell
B. cell, tissue, organ, organ system
D. organ, cell, tissue, organ system
