Animal Cell Coloring
Directions: Give the function for each cell structure and then color and label
the animal cell.
Cell Membrane (red) -membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside
environment
Nucleoplasm (yellow) -skip
Mitochondria (red) – “power house of the cell’ makes the cells energy: atp. Is
also responsible for cellular respiration (taking O2 and organic molecules to make
energy)
Lysosome (pink) – contain enzymes that break down materials with in the cell.
Acts as a digestive system.
Cytoplasm (leave white) –forms the ground substance within the cell (jelly stuff)
Microtubules (brown) –offer structural support to the cell
Ribosome (blue) – responsible for protein synthesis. Takes mRNA and makes
protein
Nucleolus (gray) –contains the DNA within the cell.
Golgi Apparatus (purple) - processes and packages proteins after their synthesis and
before they make their way to their destination;
Smooth Endoplasmic - Reticulum (green) - (A part of) endoplasmic reticulum that is
tubular in form (rather than sheet-like) and lacks ribosomes. Its functions include lipid
synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, calcium concentration, drug detoxification, and
attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (orange) –studded with ribosomes, synthesizes
proteins
Nuclear Membrane (dark brown) - It is a double-layered membrane enclosing the
nucleus of a cell that controls what enters and leaves the nucleus. Also called nuclear
envelope. It has pores, meaning it has little holes throughout.

Questions:
1. Give the function of the nucleus. Contains DNA, is said to be the cells control
center
2. What makes up the cell membrane? Phospholipids, (phospholipid bilayer)
3. Where does cellular respiration take place? Within the mitochondria
4. Where does protein synthesis take place? On the ribosomes within the cells
cytoplasm.
5. Where are ribosomes made? inside the nucleolus
6. Give two ways that an animal cell differs from a plant cell. Plants have a cell
wall and a….
7. Do plant cells contain mitochondria? yes
8. How can you tell rough ER from smooth ER? Rough has studs, (bumps)
9. Where are cell products modified and packaged in vesicles for transport?
golgi
10. Where is DNA found in a cell? Nucleus
11. Where would old cell organelles be broken down (digested) to be recycled in
the cell? Lysosomes
