Let's complete the table by identifying each organelle based on its shape (as shown in the image) and function. Here’s the completed table with explanations:

Completed Table:



| Name of Organelle | Shape of Organelle | Function of Organelle |
|------------------------|-------------------------|----------------------------|
| Ribosome | Small, round (blue dot) | Protein synthesis |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | Network of membranes (green wavy lines) | Be smooth (no ribosomes) or rough (with ribosomes) and is associated with packaging, synthesis, and transport of materials in the cell. |
| Golgi Apparatus | Stack of flattened sacs (orange stacks) | Processing, packaging, and distribution of molecules |
| Lysosome | Small, round vesicle (yellow circle) | Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials |
| Mitochondrion | Double-membraned, bean-shaped (red structure) | Power plants of cells where energy (ATP) is produced |
| Vacuole | Large, round sac (blue circle) | Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells |
| Chloroplast | Green, oval with internal structures (green oval) | Found in plants and is where photosynthesis occurs |
| Centriole | Two perpendicular cylinders (Y-shaped red structure) | Found in animal cells and is used in cell division; the spindle fibers attach to it |

🔍 Explanation of Each Organelle:



1. Ribosome
- Shape: Small, spherical structures (often seen as dots).
- Function: Site of protein synthesis. They read mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins.

2. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Shape: Network of folded membranes (rough ER has ribosomes attached; smooth ER does not).
- Function: Involved in protein and lipid synthesis, detoxification, and transport of materials within the cell.

3. Golgi Apparatus
- Shape: Stack of flattened membrane sacs (like a stack of pancakes).
- Function: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for storage or transport out of the cell.

4. Lysosome
- Shape: Small, spherical vesicle.
- Function: Contains digestive enzymes that break down waste materials, old organelles, and foreign particles.

5. Mitochondrion
- Shape: Bean-shaped with an inner folded membrane (cristae).
- Function: Produces ATP through cellular respiration — the "powerhouse" of the cell.

6. Vacuole
- Shape: Large, spherical sac.
- Function: Stores water, nutrients, and waste. In plant cells, it maintains turgor pressure and helps maintain cell shape.

7. Chloroplast
- Shape: Oval with stacked green membranes (thylakoids).
- Function: Site of photosynthesis in plant cells — converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose).

8. Centriole
- Shape: Paired cylindrical structures arranged perpendicularly (Y-shape in diagram).
- Function: Organizes microtubules during cell division (mitosis); forms the spindle fibers that pull chromosomes apart.
