Step-by-step solution for: Cell Organelles - Worksheet | Distance Learning
To complete the table, we need to identify the organelles based on their shapes and functions. Let's go through each row step by step:
1. Protein synthesis:
- Shape: 🟤 (Ribosome-like shape)
- Function: Protein synthesis
- Name of Organelle: Ribosome
2. Smooth or rough endoplasmic reticulum:
- Shape: 🟨 (Network-like structure)
- Function: Be smooth (no ribosomes) or rough (with ribosomes) and is associated with packaging, synthesis, and transport of materials in the cell.
- Name of Organelle: Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
3. Processing, packaging, and distribution of molecules:
- Shape: 🟧 (Golgi apparatus-like shape)
- Function: Processing, packaging, and distribution of molecules.
- Name of Organelle: Golgi Apparatus
4. Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials:
- Shape: ⚫ (Spherical vesicle-like shape)
- Function: Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials.
- Name of Organelle: Lysosome
5. Power plants of cells where energy (ATP) is produced:
- Shape: 🔴 (Mitochondrion-like shape)
- Function: Power plants of cells where energy (ATP) is produced.
- Name of Organelle: Mitochondrion
6. Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells:
- Shape: 🔵 (Vacuole-like shape)
- Function: Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells.
- Name of Organelle: Vacuole
7. Found in plants and is where photosynthesis occurs:
- Shape: 🟢 (Chloroplast-like shape)
- Function: Found in plants and is where photosynthesis occurs.
- Name of Organelle: Chloroplast
8. Found in animal cells and is used in cell division; spindle fibers attach to it:
- Shape: 🔴 (Centriole-like shape)
- Function: Found in animal cells and is used in cell division; spindle fibers attach to it.
- Name of Organelle: Centriole
| Name of Organelle | Shape of Organelle | Function of Organelle |
|-------------------|--------------------|-----------------------|
| Ribosome | 🟤 | Protein synthesis |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) | 🟨 | Be smooth (no ribosomes) or rough (with ribosomes) and is associated with packaging, synthesis, and transport of materials in the cell. |
| Golgi Apparatus | 🟧 | Processing, packaging, and distribution of molecules. |
| Lysosome | ⚫ | Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials. |
| Mitochondrion | 🔴 | Power plants of cells where energy (ATP) is produced. |
| Vacuole | 🔵 | Temporarily stores food, water, waste; rather large in plant cells. |
| Chloroplast | 🟢 | Found in plants and is where photosynthesis occurs. |
| Centriole | 🔴 | Found in animal cells and is used in cell division; spindle fibers attach to it. |
- Ribosome: Small structures responsible for protein synthesis.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): A network of membranes involved in protein and lipid synthesis, as well as transport.
- Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, packages, and distributes proteins and lipids.
- Lysosome: Contains digestive enzymes to break down waste materials and cellular debris.
- Mitochondrion: The powerhouse of the cell, producing ATP through cellular respiration.
- Vacuole: Stores nutrients, waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure in plant cells.
- Chloroplast: Found in plant cells, responsible for photosynthesis.
- Centriole: Involved in organizing the microtubules during cell division.
This completes the table with the correct names of the organelles based on their shapes and functions.
