acts as a protective barrier; it separates the interior (inside) of
the cell from the exterior (outside); it allows some things to come into the cell.
acts as a rigid, protective wall. Provides and maintains the
shape of the cell.
food producers for the cell. They contain plant cell's
chlorophyll, which is responsible for the plant's green color and their ability
to absorb sunlight.
fluid that fills the cell and holds the organelles in place.
70-90% water.
it is a packaging organelle. It takes smaller molecules and
enlarges them then transports them to other places in the cell.
Cell Organelles and Functions
Worksheet
provides energy to the cell. It acts as the digestive system of the cell.
Takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy.
the brain of the cell. Houses the DNA. Controls eating, movement,
and reproduction.
found inside of the nucleus and produces ribosomes. Then, sends the
ribosomes to replace pieces of the endoplasmic reticulum where proteins are made.
storage bubbles found in cells. Stores food and wastes.
Very large organelle in the plant cell.
packets of RNA that help build proteins for the cell by connecting
one amino acid at a time.

hold enzymes in the cell. They might be used to digest food or break
down the cell when it dies.

They are very important in the synthesis and
packaging of proteins. Ribosomes are attached--gives it that bumpy look.
It acts as a storage organelle. It is important
in the creation and storage of steroids.

Cell Wall; Chloroplasts; Central Vacuole.
