or Both?
B
P
Function
(What does it do?) In your own words.
Separates the cell from the rest of the
environment and helps control what passes in
and out of the cell. Semi-permeable: allows
some materials to pass through but not all.
Helps maintain Homeostasis.
Active& Passive Transport (Diffusion).
Rigid outer layer made of cellulose that
supports and protects the plant cell.
Directs all cell activities. (DNA does this)

Security Guard
A Fence
The President
Makes ribosomes. May have more than one.
Disappears during cell division.
* Nucleolus
*DNA
Name ______________________________
B
The hereditary material of the cell. Makes
up the Chromosomes.
Controls what passes in and out of the
nucleus. Have pores in which materials pass
through.
Jelly-like substance found inside cell that acts
as a medium for chemical reactions within the
cell. Supports and protects cell organelles

B
Vacuole
Lysosome
(What does it do?) In your own words.
The smallest structures in the cell.
They are made by the nucleolus and are
involved in producing protein.
Found floating in the cytoplasm or attached
to rough ER.
Transportation network for the cell, moves
materials around in the cell. Network of
tubes that connects to nuclear membrane.
Endoplasmic Reticulum
*Rough
Function
Large in
plants.
Small in
animal.

Factory
Highways
Rough ER- endoplasmic reticulum that has
ribosomes attached. Aids in making
proteins.
Smooth ER- does not have ribosomes
attached.
Packages the proteins (enzymes & hormones)
made by the ribosomes so they can be sent
out of the cell in vesicles in sacs called vesicles.
Can hold food, water or waste for the cell.
Plant cells store large amounts, mostly water.
Helps the cell digest waste and worn out
cell parts. Breaks down large food
molecules.
UPS

Custodian
Organelle/Cell Part
Chloroplast
Mitochondria
Plant,
Animal
or Both?
P
B
Function
(What does it do?) In your own words.
Contains chlorophyll - a pigment that captures
the sun's energy.
Photosynthesis - uses the energy from the sun
to make food (glucose) for the plant.
Releases oxygen.
Site of aerobic cellular respiration - breaks
down sugar (glucose) molecules to release
energy. Makes ATP.
Self-replicating.
Contains its own DNA.
Releases Carbon Dioxide.

Kitchen
Power Plant
B
Gives support to the cell.
Made of proteins (microfibers).
Strengthen cell & maintains the shape.
Cilia
n/a
Short, but numerous, hair-like projections
used for moving the cells or materials past
the cell.
Broom
Flagella
n/a
Long, but few in number, tail-like projections
used to transport the cell. Typically 1-3 per
cell.
Flipper
n/a
Arm-like projection of the cytoplasm used to
move a cell and to aid in ingesting
substances.
Cytoskeleton
Pseudopod
Skeleton
The Blob
