Cell Organelles Worksheet

Complete the following table by writing the name of the cell part or organelle in the right hand column
that matches the structure/ function in the left hand column. A cell party may be used more then once.
Cell Part
Structure and Function
1. Stores material with in the cell.

2. The sites of protein synthesis

3. Transport materials within the cell
4. The region inside the cell except for the
nucleus.
5. Organelle that manages or controls all
the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell
6. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts,
food particles and invading viruses and
bacteria.
7. Providers temporary storage of food,
enzymes and waste products.
8. Firm, protective structure that gives the
cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria
and some protests.

9. Produces a usable form of energy for the

cell

10. Packages proteins for transport out of

the cell
11. Site where ribosomes are made
12. The membrane surrounding the cell,

controls what goes in and out

13. Name for the collection of DNA in the

nucleus of a eukaryotic cell
14. Consists of hollow tubes which provide
support for the cell
15. Smart hair-like structures used for
movement or sensing things
