Cell Organelles - Worksheet | Distance Learning - Free Printable

I'll solve this problem by identifying each organelle based on its shape and function description, then fill in the blanks in the table.

Let me start by examining each row one by one:

Row 1:
- Shape: Green, bean-shaped structure
- Function: Protein synthesis
This is likely the Ribosome, but I should verify since ribosomes are typically small and not usually depicted as bean-shaped. Let me check if there's another organelle that fits.

Row 2:
- Shape: Green, circular/oval structure with internal membranes
- Function: "be smooth (no ribosomes) or rough (with ribosomes) and is associated with packaging, synthesis, and transport of materials in the cell."
This describes the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - both smooth and rough ER.

Row 3:
- Shape: Stacked, flattened sacs (like pancakes)
- Function: "Processing, packaging, and distribution of molecules"
This is clearly the Golgi Apparatus.

Row 4:
- Shape: Small, round vesicle
- Function: "Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials."
This is the Lysosome.

Row 5:
- Shape: Bean-shaped with internal folds (cristae)
- Function: "Power plants of cells where energy (ATP) is produced."
This is the Mitochondrion.

Row 6:
- Shape: Large, clear vesicle
- Function: "Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells."
This is the Vacuole.

Row 7:
- Shape: Green, oval with internal thylakoid structures
- Function: "Found in plants and is where photosynthesis occurs."
This is the Chloroplast.

Row 8:
- Shape: Y-shaped structure
- Function: "Found in animal cells and is used in cell division; the spindle fibers attach to it."
This is the Centriole.

Let me now fill in the table with these identifications.

The completed table would be:

| Name of Organelle | Shape of Organelle | Function of Organelle |
|-------------------|--------------------|------------------------|
| Ribosome | [Green, bean-shaped] | Protein synthesis |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | [Green, circular/oval with internal membranes] | be smooth (no ribosomes) or rough (with ribosomes) and is associated with packaging, synthesis, and transport of materials in the cell. |
| Golgi Apparatus | [Stacked, flattened sacs] | Processing, packaging, and distribution of molecules |
| Lysosome | [Small, round vesicle] | Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials. |
| Mitochondrion | [Bean-shaped with internal folds] | Power plants of cells where energy (ATP) is produced. |
| Vacuole | [Large, clear vesicle] | Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells. |
| Chloroplast | [Green, oval with internal thylakoid structures] | Found in plants and is where photosynthesis occurs. |
| Centriole | [Y-shaped structure] | Found in animal cells and is used in cell division; the spindle fibers attach to it. |

Wait, I need to reconsider the first row. The shape shown is green and bean-shaped, which is more characteristic of a mitochondrion, but the function is protein synthesis. Protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes, which are typically depicted as small dots or granules, not bean-shaped. This might be an error in the image or perhaps it's meant to represent something else. Let me double-check.

Actually, looking at the image again, I think the first shape might be intended to represent ribosomes, even though the depiction is unconventional. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, so despite the unusual shape representation, I'll go with Ribosome for the first row.

The final answer is:
- Row 1: Ribosome
- Row 2: Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Row 3: Golgi Apparatus
- Row 4: Lysosome
- Row 5: Mitochondrion
- Row 6: Vacuole
- Row 7: Chloroplast
- Row 8: Centriole
