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
1. Stores material within the cell
2. Controls what moves in and out of the nucleus
3. The sites of protein synthesis
4. Considered the roadways of the cell
5. The region inside the cell except for the nucleus
6. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a
eukaryotic cell
Cell Part
Vacuole
Nuclear Membrane
Ribosomes
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
7. Site of photosynthesis in plants
Chloroplast
8. Contains enzymes to digest excess or worn-out cell parts, food
particles and invading viruses or bacteria
Lysosomes
9. Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum
Ribosomes
10. Provides temporary storage of water and food particles
Vacuole
11. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell that provides support in
plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protists
Cell Wall
12. Produces a usable form of energy for the cell
13. Packages proteins from rough ER for transport out of the cell
Mitochondria
Vesicle
14. Organelle that helps breakdown toxins, poisons, and waste
Smooth ER
15. Site where rRNA is made
Nucleolus
769813568
16. The membrane surrounding the cell, controls what goes in and out of
cell.
17. Provides support for the cell, includes cilia & flagella
Cell Membrane
Cytoskeleton
18. Small membrane-bound sacs used in transport of materials in cells
19. Helps cell maintain shape, helps move cell (if cell moves), helps
move things within cell.
Vesicles
Cytoskeleton
20. Small hair-like structures used for movement or sensing things
21. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer
Cilia
Cell Membrane
22. Longer whip-like structures used for movement
Flagella

In the tables above, circle the three parts that are found in both prokaryotic (bacteria) and eukaryotic (all
other living things) cells.
*** Study***
1. The three parts to the cell theory:
A. All cells come from cells.
B. All living things are made of 1 or more cells.
C. The cell is the most basic unit of structure and function in living things.
2.
The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells:
Page 2
A. Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus nor do they have membrane bound organelles like a mitochondria, or vacuoles, this
is why they are much smaller cells.
3.
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
How proteins are made in the nucleus and moved step by step until the reach the cell/plasma membrane. (we
numbered our picture 1-5).
Nucleus
RER
Transport Vesicle
Golgi Body
Secretory Vesicle
Cell Membrane (pushed out)
4.
A.
B.
C.
D.
The 4 parts that both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both have.
Cell Membrane
Ribosomes
DNA
Cytoplasm
5.
The characteristics that make something living.
A. Be made of 1 or more Cells
B. Response to stimuli
C. Reproduction with DNA
D. Obtain and Use Energy
E. Homeostasis
F.
Adapt/Variations
