Cell Organelle Identification
This is a low-stakes assignment graded only based on whether you attempt to complete it. The goal is to see what you have learned about
animal cell organelles. Below is a drawing of an animal cell with organelles identified by a letter. Write the corresponding name and
function of the appropriate organelle on the lettered line below the figure. There are more organelles shown than we have discussed in
class thus far, so do not worry if you don’t know the name or function of every organelle.
