NAME THAT ORGANELLE
The organelle that stores DNA
Nucleus
This organelle is the “powerhouse” of the cell
Mitochondria
Only plant cells have this outer protective layer
Cell wall
The nucleus is like this part of a city
City hall or mayor’s office
Nucleus – Ribosome – Lysosome – Mitochondria – Banana
Banana (not an organelle)
The site of protein synthesis
Ribosome
This organelle contains chlorophyll
Chloroplast
Present in animal cells for cell division, rare in plants
Centriole
The mitochondria are like this in a city
Power plant
Cell wall – Chloroplast – Central vacuole – Ribosome
Ribosome (found in both cell types)
Modifies and packages proteins for transport
Golgi apparatus
This small structure helps cells divide
Centrosome/Centriole
Organelles used for photosynthesis
Chloroplasts
The Golgi apparatus is like this place
Post office or shipping center
Cilia – Flagella – Pili – Cell wall
Cell wall (not involved in movement)
Breaks down old cell parts and waste
Lysosome
Produces ribosomes inside the nucleus
Nucleolus
Plant cells usually have one large one; animal cells have many small ones
Vacuole
The ribosomes are like this in a city
Factories
Peroxisome – Mitochondria – Golgi body – Nucleoid
Nucleoid (found only in prokaryotes)
Site of lipid synthesis and detoxification
Smooth ER
Contains enzymes to break down hydrogen peroxide
Peroxisome
Found only in plants for cell-to-cell communication
Plasmodesmata
The lysosomes are like this
Garbage disposal or janitor
Rough ER – Smooth ER – Lysosome – Biceps
Biceps (not a cell structure)
