Organelle Description Function Animal, Plant or

Both

Rigid, tough, made of cellulose Protects and supports the cell

Thin, covering, protects cells Protects the cell, performs active

transport and passive transport, moves
materials in and out of the cell,
communication

Jelly like substance that contains Pads and supports organelles inside the
organelles cell.

Dense, ball shaped structure, Controls all of the cell’s activities

contains DNA

Thin covering over the nucleus Covers and protects the nucleus

Small dark area in the nucleus Produces ribosome’s

In the nucleus, made of DNA and Provides instructions for the cells
protein, contains genes activities, (growth, reproduction)

Clear, tubular system of tunnels Transports materials like proteins

throughout the cell around the cell, helps in making
proteins

Small specks made of RNA. Found Makes proteins

in cytoplasm or on the endoplasmic
reticulum

Location in the cytoplasm, bean Supplies energy or ATP for the cell
shaped through cell respiration using glucose
and oxygen

Large open storage area, smaller in Storage tank for food, water, wastes or
animal cells enzymes

Green structures that contain Captures sunlight and uses it to produce

chlorophyll food through photosynthesis

Small bags with tubes connecting Packages and secrets proteins for use in
them and out of the cell

Ribosomes are embedded in this Helps in making proteins

area

One pair each cell Help coordinate cell division

Ribosomes are not embedded in Helps in making protein

this area

Small, round structures, containing Digests older cell parts, food or other
enzymes objects
