Cell Organelle Lab Objective: Upon completion of this activity, you should be able to describe the cell and identify its parts (organelles). You should be able to distinguish between plant and animal cells. PART I Go to: www.wisc-online.com/objects/index_tj.asp?objid=AP11604 Click "Next" to begin the activity. Answer the following questions. 1. What is an organelle? 2. What do ribosomes do? 3. What do they look like? 4. What does the Golgi apparatus (or Golgi bodies) do? 5. What is the function of the mitochondria? 6. What does the nuclear membrane do? 7. What is the function of the nucleus? 8. What is the cell Membrane?

**Step 2:** Ribosomes are cellular particles made up of RNA and proteins. They are responsible for protein synthesis. **Step 3:** Ribosomes look like small granules or dots, often described as a "fluffy bun on top of a hamburger." **Step 4:** The Golgi Show more…

Cell Organelles Worksheet Complete the following table by writing the name of the cell part or organelle in the right hand column that matches the structure/function in the left hand column. A cell part may be used more than once. Structure/Function Cell Part 1. Stores material within the cell 2. Closely stacked, flattened sacs (plants only) 3. The sites of protein synthesis 4. Transports materials within the cell 5. The region inside the cell except for the nucleus 6. Organelle that manages or controls all the cell functions in a eukaryotic cell 7. Contains chlorophyll, a green pigment that traps energy from sunlight and gives plants their green color 8. Digests excess or worn-out cell parts, food particles and invading viruses or bacteria 9. Small bumps located on portions of the endoplasmic reticulum 10. Provides temporary storage of food, enzymes and waste products 11. Firm, protective structure that gives the cell its shape in plants, fungi, most bacteria and some protests 12. Produces a usable form of energy for the cell 13. Packages proteins for transport out of the cell 14. Everything inside the cell including the nucleus 15. Site where ribosomes are made
