Chapter 4: Cell Organelles Activity
Part A.
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. You can type your answer in this document. Do not edit the document. If you do, you will receive a 10-point penalty for not following directions. If organelles are spelled wrong, you will receive a 2-point penalty applied. Don’t forget the class template regarding how typed answers should be presented on documents in this course. Also, review your syllabus on the important components that are required on a document submitted in the dropbx for full credit. Good luck.
Structure/Function |
Cell Part |
Found in prokaryotic cells that assist in propelling the cell. |
|
Found in a prokaryotic cell responsible for bacterial chromosomes |
|
The sites of protein synthesis |
|
Transports materials within the cell |
|
The region inside the cell except for the nucleus |
|
Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell |
|
Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color |
|
Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria |
|
Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum |
|
Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products |
|
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 |
|
Responsible for protein and lipid synthesis |
|
Everything inside the cell including the nucleus |
|
Site where ribosomes and RNA is found; be specific. |
|
The membrane surrounding the cell |
|
A network of interconnected proteins filaments that deal with movement. |
|
Name for the collection of DNA in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells |
|
Consist of hollow tubes which provide support for the cell |
|
Small hair-like structures used for movement or sensing things |
|
Composed of a phospholipid bilayer |
|
Plant cells have a primary and secondary ___. |
Part B.
Put a X in the appropriate column(s) to indicate whether the following organelles are found in plant cells, animal cells or both. If you don’t follow directions, you will receive a 5-point penalty applied to the overall grade of the assignment.

Part C. Testing your knowledge on organelles.
Using your knowledge on the function of organelles inside an eukaryotic cell. Beside each word, city’s organelle, connect the statement of interest that reflects the overall function of the organelle below underneath the city’s function. At the end of each organelle provide next to it the appropriate city function that is closely related to its function. You must write out the city function next to the organelle. If you don’t follow directions, a 5-point penalty will be applied to the overall grade. What services a town or city would need to function efficiently, and compare it to the cell organelles as part of the town or city.
City’s Organelles
1) Plasma membrane
2) Cytoplasm
3) Nucleus
4) Endoplasmic Reticulum
5) Ribosome
6) Mitochondria
7) Golgi Complex or Bodies
8) Lysosome
9) Nuclear Membrane
10) Vacuoles
City’s Functions
1) – Street, canal, roads, or highways.
2) – Power plant or Energy Co.
3) – Sanitation Department.
4) – City limit or boundary.
5) – Mayor.
6) – City Hall.
7) – Mail Center or post office, or Packaging Center.
8) – Mail man or Delivery man or person.
9) – City atmosphere.
10) – Factories or manufacture Co.
