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 structure) | 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 stacked structure) | Processing, packaging, and distribution of molecules |
| Lysosome | Small, spherical vesicle (yellow circle) | Vesicle that contains substances that break down materials. |
| Mitochondrion | Bean-shaped (red oval with folds) | 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 stacks (green oval with green lines) | 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, round granules (often shown as blue dots).
- Function: Site of protein synthesis. They read mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins.

2. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
- Shape: Network of folded membranes (smooth or rough).
- Function:
- Rough ER has ribosomes attached and helps in protein synthesis.
- Smooth ER lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

3. Golgi Apparatus
- Shape: Stack of flattened membranous sacs.
- 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, cellular debris, and foreign particles.

5. Mitochondrion
- Shape: Double-membraned, bean-shaped with inner folds (cristae).
- Function: Site of cellular respiration; produces ATP (energy currency of the cell).

6. Vacuole
- Shape: Large, spherical membrane-bound sac.
- Function: Stores water, ions, nutrients, and waste products. In plant cells, it maintains turgor pressure.

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

8. Centriole
- Shape: Two cylindrical structures arranged at right angles (often shown as a "Y" shape).
- Function: Organizes microtubules during cell division; forms the spindle fibers that separate chromosomes.
