4. Cell Organelles
Organelles are tiny structures in a cell that help it complete its overall function.
This is just like a town! We need everyone to do their job for the town to work well…
As you go through the parts of a cell, you will create an analogy for each organelle compared to a part or person in a town!

5. Nucleus Found in both plant and animal cells
Controls all activities for the cell
Contains DNA

6. Mitochondria Found in both plant and animal cells
Produces energy for the cell by breaking down sugar molecules

7. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Found in both plant and animal cells
Network of tubes that helps transport materials
2 Types:
Rough ER
Covered with ribosomes
Smooth ER
No ribosomes

8. Ribosomes Found in both plant and animal cells
Can be attached to Endoplasmic Reticulum or free-floating
Makes proteins

9. Golgi Bodies Found in both plant and animal cells
Packages, labels, and ships proteins out of the cell

10. Chloroplasts Found in plant cells only Produce food for plant cells
This is what makes plant cells green!

11. Vacuoles Found in both plant and animal cells
MUCH larger in plant cells than animal
Stores water, nutrients, and waste

12. Lysosomes Found in animal cells only
Contain enzymes that break down materials in the cell

13. Cell Membrane Found in both plant and animal cells
Regulates what enters and exits the cell

14. Cell Wall Found around plant cells only Very strong
Provides support and protection for cell

15. I love creating interactive lessons that educators can use to inspire their students’ learning! I hope you found this lesson helpful in engaging all of your learners. Thank You! Abby
