CELL ORGANELLES NAME: _________________________

Directions: Fill in the table using the word bank & cut/paste function cards. Afterwards, come up with a clever/funny way to remember each organelle’s function.

Hint: dark flecks

Used to deliver particles within the cell or from the cell to the outside of the

cell.

Protein-lined channel that allow transport of water-

soluble molecules through the nuclear envelope.

Double membrane that surrounds the nucleus & has

pores to allow some molecules (like RNA) out of

the nucleus.

Structural support; movement of materials; in

some species, movement of whole cell

Produces lipids; lacks ribosomes.

Contains the cell’s genetic information in condensed form; present during cell

division.

Tiny strands of uncondensed DNA inside the nucleus that contains the instructions for directing the cell’s function.

Transports proteins; covered with ribosomes

Stores food, water, wastes, and other materials.

Assembles amino acids to create proteins.

Produces ATP (chemical energy)

Receives proteins from the ER, processes, packages, &

distributes them.

Contains digestive enzymes to break down food & worn

out cell parts.

Ridged outer layer of plant cell; provides support

Found inside the nucleus & produces ribosomes

Control center of the cell; contains DNA

Gel-like fluid where organelles are food

Controls what comes into & out of a cell.

Captures energy from sunlight & uses it to produce

glucose in plant cells

Cut & paste the following cards into the

function section of the

table.
