Organelle Riddles

I'm a real powerhouse

That's plain to see

I break down food

to release energy

• chloroplast

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

I'm strong and stiff

Getting through me is tough

I'm found only in plants

I'm what makes sticks tough

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• nucleus

• chloroplast

I'm the brain of the cell

or so they say

I regulate activities

and contain DNA

• chloroplasts

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• vacuole

I'm found only in plant cells

I'm as green as can be

I make food for the plant

Using the sun's energy

• chloroplast

• cell wall

• vacuole

• mitochondria

I'm full of holes

flexible and thin

I control what gets out

as well as what comes in

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

I've been called the storage tank

by those with little tasts

I'm a sack filled with water

food, enzymes, and waste

• vacuole

• chloroplast

• mitochondria

• cell wall

I protect the organelles

they float around in me

I'm most like a gel

all around the cell you'll see

• cytoplasm

• cell wall

• nucleus

• chloroplast

A cell membrane is found in

• animal cell

• plant cell

• both

Cytoplasm is found in a

• animal cell

• plant cell

• both

Nucleus is found in a

• animal

• plant

• both
