Organelle’s Alias
Complete the table below. Write the name of each organelle and search images from the
internet with its source. In the second column, indicate whether it is found in animal cell, plant
cell, or both. Think of an ‘alias’ that is connected to the organelle’s function which would relate
to the functions of different Bureau or Department in our country. The first row was done for
you.

Guide Question:

Organelles work together to sustain the overall function of the cell and maintain homeostasis
(state of balance. Predict what would happen if one of the organelles was removed. How would
that affect the survival and efficiency of the cell? (limit your answer in 5 sentences)
It will either make survival extremely difficult or be deadly. In both circumstances, the cell will
cry.

Prepared by: LLCabildo, LPT

MST Act 1
Every organelle has a specific purpose and works in tandem with other organelles to create the
cell a functional and structural unit of life. So, removing an organelle will have an effect on how
the cell functions, and the cell will eventually become unable to live.
