Recycles and digests food and old organelles.
Eg. Recycling Depot
Large sac or storage tank that stores food and waste.
Eg. Garbage Can, Water Tank,
Refrigerator
This structure packages and readies fats and proteins for moving to other parts of the cell.
Eg. Butcher, Cafeteria, Deli
This is the brain of the cell. It controls the cell’s organelles and activities.
Eg. Principal or Mrs. Nickel
This is like the transportation system of the cell. It helps substances move around. There are two types of this structure, a smooth and a rough one.
Eg. School Bus

Function
These structures are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce and release energy from food.
Eg. Electrical system
This jelly-like substance holds and protects the cell’s organelles, allowing them to move within the cell.
Eg. Hallways
This is the gatekeeper of the cell.
It is the layer which controls movement in and out of the cell.
Eg. Main Office
The green structure captures sunlight to produce energy to make food.
Eg. Solar Panel
This is the stiff wall that allows plants to stand up.
Eg. Skeleton
These organelles build or synthesize protein for the cell.
Eg. Woodworking shop
