Part A: Structure and Function Drawings
For each of the organelles listed below, briefly describe the function, provide a drawing of
the structure, and tell if they are found in plant cells, animal cells or both. Do not copy any
definitions, use your own, but you may include a cool image you found elsewhere.
vesicles
cilia
lysosome
nucleolus
tough ER
cell wall
cytoskeleton
microfilament
nucleus
smooth ER
centriole
flagella
microtubule
plastids
vacuoles
chloroplast
Golgi Body
mitochondria
ribosome
cell membrane
Part B: Short Answer
1. Which organelles are enclosed by a double membrane?
2. What are the three parts of the cell theory? Who(m) is credited with the theory?
3. Compare prokaryotic to eukaryotic cells in terms of organelles in
common/difference.
4. Explain the endomembrane system.
5. What challenges face a cell that undergoes a great increase in size? How can the cell
overcome these challenges?
6. Explain the Endosymbiotic Theory of Eukaryotic Cell Origin and provide some
structural evidence that supports this hypothesis.
