Powerhouse, suicide bag, kitchen of the cell — which organelle is it?
Cell organelles games
Cell organelles and their functions
| Organelle | Function | Found in |
|---|---|---|
| Nucleus | Controls all activities of the cell; holds DNA | Plant and animal |
| Mitochondria | Powerhouse — releases energy (respiration) | Plant and animal |
| Chloroplast | Makes food by photosynthesis | Plant cells |
| Cell wall | Rigid outer layer that gives shape | Plant cells |
| Cell membrane | Thin layer that controls what goes in and out | Plant and animal |
| Ribosome | Makes proteins | Plant and animal |
| Golgi apparatus | Packs and sends materials | Plant and animal |
| Endoplasmic reticulum | Network that transports materials | Plant and animal |
| Lysosome | ‘Suicide bags’ — digest waste and worn-out parts | Mainly animal cells |
| Centrosome | Helps in cell division (has centrioles) | Mainly animal cells |
| Large central vacuole | Stores water and keeps the cell firm | Plant cells |
| Cytoplasm | Jelly-like fluid where organelles float | Plant and animal |
Animal cells may have small, temporary vacuoles; plant cells have one large central vacuole. Lysosomes are mostly described in animal cells in school books.
See the labelled plant cell and animal cell diagrams.
For Class 8 and 9 (NCERT Exploration 9, Ch 2 “Cell: The Building Block of Life”).
