MAKING COLORFULL CELLS
BLOCK _________________
DIRECTIONS: Complete the table and then color the cell parts the appropriate colors.
Color
Organelle
Function
Red
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
Black
Provides support in plant cells
Yellow
storage of water, pigments, and wastes in plants cells,
helps give the cell turgor pressure.
Green
Contains chlorophyll – captures light
Orange
Stacked sacs that receive newly made
Proteins and lipids.
Blue
Manufactures proteins
Pink or Light
Red
Network system through the cell. There
Are two kinds: rough and smooth
Purple
Breaks down food to release energy
Brown
Both are used to help give the cell shape
Dk Green
Control center for the cell
Black
Manufactures ribosomes
Yellow
DNA code wrapped around protein
Dk Blue
Food, etc. storage areas in animal cells
Dk Purple
Contain digestive enzymes

Review Questions
1.
What are the three organelles only found in a plant cell?
What are two organelles that are only found in animal cells?
2.
What do your call the parts of the cell that do the cell’s work?
3.
In what type of cell would you find a leucoplast?
What is its function?
4.
ATP is produced in the inner membrane of the ____________________ and also in the
_______________________ of the chloroplast. How are the structures of these organelles suited
for their function of producing ATP?
5.
Describe the structures of the following cells and tell how the structure suits the function. Design
your answers to include: “The (structure) is shaped like ____ so it can (function).
a. Flagellum
b. Lysosome
c. Muscle fiber
d. Red blood cell
e. Nerve cell
f. Microvilli
6.
Why don’t plant cells have microvilli?
7.
Choose an organelle and write a short “jingle” for it. Your “jingle” must rhyme and include at least
three lines. Include information about the structure and/or function.
Example:
Do not adopt a lysosome.
You would not want one in your home.
It would digest proteins every day.
What if your cat got in its way?
