1. Cell Organelles
Today you IDENTIFY the STRUCTURE and FUNCTION of cell organelles by correctly completing the chart!!!

2. Cell Membrane Located around the cell
Protects the cell and controls what enters or leaves the cell
Is “semi-
permeable”
AKA:
“Plasma
Membrane”
&

3. Nucleus Located in center of cell Contains genetic material
Controls all of the cell’s processes
&

4. Inside the Nucleus Nuclear Membrane: surrounds the nucleus
Nucleolus: dark spot that makes ribosomes
DNA: Genetic Material
Chromatin: Spread out DNA & protein
Chromosomes: Organized DNA/Protein

5. The Nucleus!!!

6. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
Located in cytoplasm
Transports materials around cell
May be “Smooth” or “Rough”—rough has ribosomes
&

7. Ribosomes
Located on Rough ER
Make proteins
&

8. Mitochondria Located in cytoplasm
Powerhouse of cell---cell respiration occurs here (sugar made into ATP)
&

9. Lysosomes Located in cytoplasm
Digest and “get rid of” waste materials or foreign objects in the cell
&

10. Golgi Located in cytoplasm
Package and “ship” proteins and other materials
&

11. Microtubules Found in the cytoplasm
Hollow tubes that help the cell with many functions like moving around organelles.
&

12. Microfilaments Found in the cytoplasm
Form the cytoskeleton, the internal frame of the cell
&

13. Centrioles
Located in cytoplasm
Help during cell reproduction
ONLY

14. Vacuoles Located in cytoplasm
Sac-like structures that store water, nutrients and wastes
Plants have a large CENTRAL VACUOLE that gives the plant cell support
&

15. Cell Wall Located outside of cell membrane Gives plant cell structure
Made of cellulose

16. Plastids
A general name for double membrane vessels in plant cells that carry out different functions

17. Chloroplasts Found in the cytoplasm
Absorb light energy for photosynthesis

18. Leucoplasts
Colorless plastid that makes starch in plant cells

19. Flagella Located outside of cell
Long, tail-like structure that moves the cell or pushes things past the cell
&

20. Cilia Located outside of cell
Many tiny bristle-like structures that move the cell or push things past the cell
&
