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

Cell Part

1. Stores material within the cell

2. Closely stacked, flattened sacs (plants only)

3. The sites of protein synthesis

4. Transports materials within 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

7. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color

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

9. Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum

10. Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products

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

12. Produces a usable form of energy for the cell

13. Packages proteins for transport out of the cell

14. Everything inside the cell including the nucleus

15. Site where ribosomes are made

16. The membrane surrounding the cell

17. Provides support for the cell, has two “subparts”

18. Name for the collection of DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells

19. Consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell

20. Small hair-like structures used for movement or sensing things

21. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer

22. Longer whip-like structures used for movement
