Question

activity: locating organelles
in the table below, sketch each of the organelles of the cytoplasm and determine its function.

organelle	sketch	function
centrioles
peroxisomes
lysosomes
mitochondria
ribosomes
endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Golgi Apparatus: Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids. Sketch: Stacks of flattened sacs.
Centrioles: Involved in cell division, forming spindle fibers. Sketch: Paired cylindrical structures.
Peroxisomes: Break down fatty acids and detoxify hydrogen peroxide. Sketch: Small, spherical.
Lysosomes: Contain enzymes for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris. Sketch: Spherical with a membrane.
Mitochondria: Power - house of the cell, produce ATP. Sketch: Bean - shaped with inner folds.
Ribosomes: Site of protein synthesis. Sketch: Small, round structures.
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Rough ER has ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis, smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis. Sketch: Network of membranes.

Answer:

Organelle	Sketch	Function
Centrioles	Paired cylindrical structures	Involved in cell division, forming spindle fibers
Peroxisomes	Small, spherical	Break down fatty acids and detoxify hydrogen peroxide
Lysosomes	Spherical with a membrane	Contain enzymes for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris
Mitochondria	Bean - shaped with inner folds	Produce ATP (power - house of the cell)
Ribosomes	Small, round structures	Site of protein synthesis
Endoplasmic Reticulum	Network of membranes	Rough ER: Protein synthesis; Smooth ER: Lipid synthesis
