Endoplasmic Reticulum
Function
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
Lysosome
Plant
Animal

Name of
Organelle
Function
6
These structures are known as
the powerhouse of the cell
because they produce and release
energy from food.
Eg. Electrical system
7
This jelly-like substance holds
and protects the cell’s organelles,
allowing them to move within the
cell.
Eg. Hallways
8
This is the gatekeeper of the cell.
It is the layer which controls
movement in and out of the cell.
Eg. Main Office
9
The green structure captures
sunlight to produce energy to
make food.
Eg. Solar Panel
10
This is the stiff wall that allows
plants to stand up.
Eg. Skeleton
11
These organelles build or
synthesize protein for the cell.
Eg. Woodworking shop
