Organelle Description Function Animal, Plant or
Both
Rigid, tough, made of cellulose Protects and supports the cell
Thin, covering, protects cells Protects the cell, performs active
transport and passive transport, moves
materials in and out of the cell,
communication
Jelly like substance that contains Pads and supports organelles inside the
organelles cell.
Dense, ball shaped structure, Controls all of the cell’s activities
contains DNA
Thin covering over the nucleus Covers and protects the nucleus
Small dark area in the nucleus Produces ribosome’s
In the nucleus, made of DNA and Provides instructions for the cells
protein, contains genes activities, (growth, reproduction)
Clear, tubular system of tunnels Transports materials like proteins
throughout the cell around the cell, helps in making
proteins
Small specks made of RNA. Found Makes proteins
in cytoplasm or on the endoplasmic
reticulum
Location in the cytoplasm, bean Supplies energy or ATP for the cell
shaped through cell respiration using glucose
and oxygen
Large open storage area, smaller in Storage tank for food, water, wastes or
animal cells enzymes
Green structures that contain Captures sunlight and uses it to produce
chlorophyll food through photosynthesis
Small bags with tubes connecting Packages and secrets proteins for use in
them and out of the cell
Ribosomes are embedded in this Helps in making proteins
area
One pair each cell Help coordinate cell division
Ribosomes are not embedded in Helps in making protein
this area
Small, round structures, containing Digests older cell parts, food or other
enzymes objects
