CELL STRUCTURE AND PROCESSES Practice Worksheet

1. Fill out the chart about cells with a “Yes” or a “No.”

Prokaryotic Eukaryotic

Cell membrane

Cytoplasm

Genetic Material

Ribosome

Nucleus

Organelles

Type of Cell Simple Complex

2. Which organelles are found ONLY in the plant cell and not animal cells? (Note: Some prokaryotic bacteria cells may

have these organelles.)

3. Match the cell organelle to its function.

Nucleus

Protein Synthesis

Lysosome

Has a role in Mitosis to separate chromosomes

Vacuole

Contains DNA

Centrosome

Transport nutrients within the cell

Chloroplast

Packages proteins made; Exocytosis

Cell Membrane

Breaks down nutrients and wastes

Ribosome

Storage

Mitochondria

Breaks down glucose into ATP energy

Cell Wall

Photosynthesis

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

A flexible membrane around eukaryotic cells

Golgi Apparatus

A rigid membrane found in plants and some bacteria
