This image is a completed study guide or "cheat sheet" for cell organelles. It matches the name of the part, its job (function), and a memory clue to help you remember it.
Since all the boxes are already filled in correctly, here is a summary of the information provided to help you study:
1. Cell Membrane
*
Job: Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
*
Clue: Like a club with a bouncer ("Members only").
2. Cell Wall
*
Job: The hard outer layer of plant cells.
*
Clue: Like a brick wall.
3. Cytoplasm
*
Job: The jelly-like fluid holding everything inside.
*
Clue: Swimming in plasma.
4. Mitochondria
*
Job: Makes energy for the cell.
*
Clue: The "powerhouse."
5. Lysosomes
*
Job: Cleans up waste and breaks down food.
*
Clue: The cleaner (Hint: sounds like "Lysol").
6. Vacuoles
*
Job: Storage for water, food, and waste.
*
Clue: Like storage bags or a vacuum.
7. Golgi Bodies
*
Job: Packages and ships proteins.
*
Clue: The packer (Hint: "Gol"den).
8. Chloroplasts
*
Job: Uses sunlight to make food in plants.
*
Clue: Makes things sweet (sugar/food).
9. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
*
Job: Transports materials around the cell.
*
Clue: A transport system (Hint: transport
ER).
10. Ribosomes
*
Job: Builds proteins.
*
Clue: Makes "some" nice proteins.
11. Nucleus
*
Job: The brain of the cell; holds DNA.
*
Clue: The control center.
12. Nucleolus
*
Job: Inside the nucleus; makes ribosomes.
*
Clue: Controls the number of "ribos" (ribosomes).
13. Chromatin
*
Job: Strands of DNA instructions inside the nucleus.
*
Clue: A "tin" of information.
