Identify whether the organelle is found in plant, animal, or bacterial cells by checking the appropriate box.
Then, describe the organelle and identify its function for the cells you indicated.
If the cell was a city, could you imagine the organelles as doing jobs within the city? Who would be the
electric company, and who is the garbage collectors/recyclers?
