Identifying Organelles (Plant and Animal Cells)

Front

Layered stack of flat membrane-enclosed spaces containing enzymes that process, sort, and deliver proteins.

Back

Golgi apparatus

Front

Fluid filled sac for storage of materials; stores food, water, and enzymes.

Back

vacuole

Front

Bean-shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell and has its own ribosomes and DNA.

Back

mitochondria

Front

This organelle is found only in plants; it takes up a lot of space and strengthens cells and helps to support the entire plant. Options: central vacuole, chloroplast, mitochondria, nucleus

Back

central vacuole

Front

Organelle composed of many membranes used to convert solar energy into chemical energy; contains chlorophyll and is where photosynthesis occurs.

Back

chloroplast

Front

A rigid structure that gives protection, support, and shape to plants, algae, fungi, and some bacteria.

Back

cell wall

Front

A double-layer of phospholipids that forms a boundary between the cell and surrounding environment and controls the passage of materials into and out of the cell.

Back

cell membrane 

Front

An interconnected network of thin, folded membranes that produce, process, and distribute proteins. Is covered in ribosomes.

Back

rough endoplasmic reticulum

Front

Organelle that contains enzymes and helps with the immune system by breaking down dead or damaged cell parts. Options: lysosomes, nucleus, cell wall, chloroplast

Back

lysosomes

Front

Organelle that contains enzymes. It helps with the immune system and breaks down dead or damaged cell parts.
