Name of Organelle
Cell Wall
Function (What is its job?)
Additional information Animal/Plant/Both
Provides structure
Contains cellulose, a
tough substance
supports and protects the
cell
Non-living
Plant
Allows materials to pass into
and out of the cell
Separates the cell from the
rest of it’s environment
Cell Membrane
Helps control the passage of
substances into and out of
the cell
Living material
Selectively permeable
Both
Chloroplast is a special
type of plastid
Plant
In the leaves and
stems
Plant
Helps give shape and support
Contain pigments
Plastids
Chloroplast
Give plants their color
Contain a green pigment
called chlorophyll
Photosynthesis
happens here and
glucose is made
Nucleus
Regulates all/controls the
activities that take place in a
cell
The brain
Usually occupies the
central portion of the
animal cell
“Command central”

Name of Organelle
Chromosomes
Function (What is its job?)
Additional information
Animal/Plant/Both
Instructions for the cell’s
activities are stored here
Found in the nucleus
Both
Almost always occur in
pairs
Composed of DNA
DNA
Carries the hereditary traits
that are passed from parents
to offspring
Makes up
chromosomes
Surrounds the nucleus
Has pores/holes
Both
(Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
Nuclear Envelope
Helps to protect the nucleus
Both
Allows the exchange of
materials in/out of cell
Cytoplasm
A jelly-like substance that all
other organelles float in
Helps provide support for
cells
Mitochondria
Produces energy that is
released to support the cell’s
activities or stored for future
use
Breaks down nutrients to
release energy
Lies between the cell
membrane and the
nuclear envelope,
living material
Both
Sausage-shaped
Known as the
“powerhouses” of the
cell
The more needed by a
cell, the more there
are in a cell

Name of Organelle
Ribosomes
Function (What is its job?)
Additional information
Animal/Plant/Both
Help make the proteins that a
cell needs to perform it’s life
activites
Many are located along Both
the endoplasmic
reticulum
“manufactures proteins”
Golgi Bodies
Vacuoles
Package the proteins made by
the ribosomes so they can be
sent out of the cell
Storage tanks for water, food,
waste, minerals
A series of flattened
curved sacs
Both
Located on the
Endoplasmic reticulum
Hold water, waste,
food
Both
One big vacuole in
plants
Several smaller
vacuoles in animal cells
Traps energy from the sun or
other light to make glucose
In Chloroplasts
Plant
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A transportation and
communication network that
helps substances travel
between the nucleus and
cytoplasm
A series of cavities that
is connected to the
nuclear envelope
Both
Lysosome
Help the cell digest protein.
Contains digestive enzymes
that break down food, worn
out cell parts
Chlorophyll
