TITLE: CELLULAR STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS WORKSHEET

Objectives:
At the end of the activity, you shall be able to:
1. draw and label the parts of an animal/plant/bacterial cell
2. describe the structures/organelles present in an animal/plant/bacterial cell and
relate them to their function/s

Materials: coloring materials and ball pen/pencil

Procedure:

A. ANIMAL CELL
a. Draw, label and show the locations of the following organelles on the diagram of
an animal cell below
Plasma (cell) membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria, lysosome,
nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, nuclear membrane,
nucleolus, Golgi apparatus
b. Write the corresponding function/s of each organelle.
c. Add specific colors to each of the organelle using your coloring materials.

a plant cell below
Cell wall, Plasma (cell) membrane, cytoplasm, mitochondria,
chloroplast, nucleus, vacuole, endoplasmic reticulum,
ribosomes, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, Golgi apparatus
2. Write the corresponding function/s of each organelle.
3. Add specific colors to each of the organelle using your coloring materials.

C. BACTERIAL CELL
1. Draw, label and show the locations of the following structures on the diagram of a
bacterial cell below
Cell wall, Plasma (cell) membrane, capsule, fimbriae, flagella,
nucleoid, plasmid
2. Write the corresponding function/s of each organelle.
3. Add specific colors to each of the structures using your coloring materials.
