      Organelle Identification H3

       

       

      Is the cell on the left a plant cell or an animal cell?  How can you tell?

      Label the cells, and describe the function of each organelle.

      Cell Organelles

      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.

      Organelles are listed to the right.

      Structure/Function

       

      Stores material within the cell

       

      Closely stacked, flattened sacs where photosynthesis takes place

       

      The sites of protein synthesis

       

      Jelly-like substance in the cell

       

      Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell

       

      Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria

       

      Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protists

       

      Produces a usable form of energy for the cell

       

      Packages proteins for transport out of the cell

       

      The membrane surrounding the cell

       

      Provides support for the cell
