Activity 2
Organelle Nicknames
Complete the table below. Draw each named organelle in the first column. In the second column, indicate
whether it is found in animal cell, plant cell, or both. Create a nickname for each organelle that is connected to
its function. Write its function and comparison in the last column. (Refer to the 1st row as an example).

Organelle Animal/ plant/ both Nickname Explanation

NUCLEUS Both The Brain Function:
Nucleus is where the DNA is
located and controls how the
cell functions.

In the same way…

The brain controls how our body
functions.

CHLOROPLAST Function:

In the same way…

MITOCHONDRION Function:

In the same way…

LYSOSOMES Function:

In the same way…

ENDOPLASMIC Function:
RETICULUM

In the same way…

 GOLGI APPARATUS Function:

In the same way…

VACUOLES Function:

In the same way…

CELL MEMBRANE Function:

In the same way…

RIBOSOMES Function:

In the same way…

Guide Questions:

1. Organelles work together to sustain the overall function of the cell and maintain homeostasis (state of
balance). Predict what would happen if one of the organelles was removed. How would that affect the
survival and efficiency of the cell?
