CELLS REVIEW PROJECT
Our bodies function a unit where each organ in our body serves a specific function in order to keep us alive. Cells
function as a unit as well, where each organelle (mini-organ) serves a specific function in order to keep the cell alive. You
should have learned cells last year in 7th grade, this review assignment is designed to start with some basic review and
then ask you to really apply your knowledge and prove mastery of cells by the end!
Level 1: Remembering
Structure: What does the organelle look like? What is it made of? Where is it located?
Function: What is the organelle’s purpose? What is it’s job?
Organelle
Cell
Membrane
Cell Wall
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Mitochondria
Endoplasmic
Reticulum
Ribosomes
Structure
(draw & describe)
Function
(describe)
A cell membrane is a ________ ,
________-___________________
membrane that _______________
both plant and animal cells.
_________________ the inside of the cell by
separating from its surroundings. It controls
what ____________ and _____________
the cell, preventing harmful things from
__________________ and keeping useful
things inside
Plant cells have a cell wall
_____________ the cell membrane. It
is made of ____________,
_______-___________, rigid material.
The nucleus is _____________ or oval
shaped structure typically near the
______________ of the cell. It
contains a cell’s _________.
___________-like material found in a
cell. It takes up all of the
____________ in between the nucleus
and organelles. It is jelly-like and most
of it is ___________.
It gives _____________________ to plant
cells and gives support for the cells, allowing
plants to __________ ________________.
Mitochondria are made out of
_____________
__________________ which create
the _________________ that to
________________ energy
Mitochondria are the
_____________________ of plant and
animal cells. They take the ________,
____________ it down, and turn it into
usable _______________ for the cell to
function.
It _________________ materials, like
_______________, from one part of the cell
to another.
The ER is also a membrane but in the
shape of a ___________ of
________________________ around
the cell.
Ribosomes are _______,
___________, dark-colored
organelles. Some are
_________________ to endoplasmic
reticulum, others ___________ freely
in the cytoplasm.
It controls most of the
__________________ of the cell. It also
directs cell _________________________.
It’s only function is to provide a
____________for the organelles to
“_____________” within
They _________ ______________, which
the cell uses for _____________ and
____________, or transports out of the cell
for the organism’s use.
In
Animal
Cells?
In
Plant
Cells?
Yes
Yes
Vacuole
Chloroplasts
Golgi Bodies
Lysosomes
Level 3:
Applying
Illustrate a plant
and animal cell
below with the
organelles. You
must color each
organelle a
different color
organelle, and
then provide
one word to
best describe
each organelle
Vacuoles are fluid filled
_____________ that float in the
cytoplasm of plant and animal cells.
Plant cells have one ___________
vacuole, while some animal cells have
a __________ vacuole.
Plant cells have __________, oval
shaped organelles called chloroplasts.
Chloroplasts have a green compound
called ______________________.
They look like ____________ of flat
___________.
Lysosomes are ___________,
round structures containing
___________________.
Vacuoles store ___________, ___________
and ____________.
Chlorophyll is used to ___________ the
__________ from ___________ because this
is where ____________________________
takes place, converting sunlight to food
(glucose) for the cells.
Golgi bodies act like a ______________
center. They receive proteins from the
endoplasmic reticulum, package them up
and then _________ them to other parts of
the cell. They also _____________ materials
to the outside of the cell.
These chemicals __________ down large
________ molecules, __________
products, and _____ cell parts. This
broken down “_________” can then be
disposed of with the help of the Golgi
Body.
Level 4: Analyzing
In each of the following you will be comparing a cell to something as using an analogy.
Definition of Analogy: a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of
explanation or clarification.
Analogy: The cell compared to a school.
Directions: Provide a reasoning for why I chose each piece of the analogy.
Nucleus
Analogy
Principal
Mitochondria
Breakfast and lunch
Ribosomes
Teachers and students
Vacuole
Closets and trashcans
Cell Membrane
Doors and Officer Pulley
Reasoning
Chloroplast
Cafeteria
Cytoplasm
Air
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Hallways
Lysosomes
Janitors
Level 5: Evaluating
Evaluate what would happen within a cell if the following organelles were removed and no longer there. Describe the
consequences first for the cell, and then for the larger plant and/or animal.
Organelle
Nucleus
Vacuole
Lysosome
Cell Membrane
Cell Wall
Mitochondria
Consequences in Cell
Consequences in Whole Organism
Chloroplast
Golgi Body
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Level 6: Creating
YOUR OWN ANALOGY OF A CELL
You will be creating a model of a cell by using an analogy for the cell. This means, you will be comparing the
cell (and its structures) to something that works in a similar way to the cell. Your analogy could be anything!
Some ideas include: a school, a car, a football stadium, etc. (You CANNOT use my examples)
Steps to complete project:
1. Brainstorm what place you will use for your analogy. Write it here: ____________________
2. Then choose either a PLANT CELL or ANIMAL CELL (8 organelles) and write here: _________
3. Fill in the table below with the organelles in your cell (REMEMBER that plant and animal cells have
different organelles). Fill in the function for each organelle.
4. Find the objects in your analogy that are similar in function to the organelle and fill in the remaining column in
chart. Make sure your analogy makes sense! Your completed chart should look like the example below this
for each organelle!
Organelle
Function
Analogyt & Reason
Mitochondria
Provides energy for the cell
Power 0utlet (in a house) because it
provides energy for all the appliances in a
house
5. Create a neat, colorful drawing on the back of the packet that shows your complete analogy. You will draw
your analogy objects and place, but then label each part as the proper “organelle.” Be sure that your
drawing displays all of the pieces of your analogy and is neat and colorful.
