Explanation:

• Cell membrane: It is a semi - permeable membrane that controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
• Vacuole: In plant cells, the large central vacuole stores water, nutrients, and waste products. In animal cells, there are smaller vacuoles that also store materials.
• Golgi apparatus: It modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other organelles.
• Nucleus: Contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) which stores the genetic information for the cell.
• Mitochondria: Known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, it generates ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell, through cellular respiration.
• Cell wall (in plant cells): Provides structural support, protection, and helps maintain the shape of the plant cell.
• Chloroplasts (in plant cells): Contain chlorophyll and carry out photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy (glucose).
• Ribosomes: These are the sites of protein synthesis. They can be free - floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
• Endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER has ribosomes attached): The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein production as the ribosomes on its surface synthesize proteins.

Answer:

Function	Organelle	Color (example - you can choose any color as per instruction)
Stores materials needed by the cell like water	Vacuole	Green
Processes, sorts, and delivers proteins	Golgi apparatus	Yellow
Stores genetic information for the cell	Nucleus	Purple
Supplies energy for the cell	Mitochondria	Orange
Gives protection, support, and shape to the cell (plant cell)	Cell wall	Brown
Carries out photosynthesis (plant cell)	Chloroplasts	Light green
Tiny organelles that make proteins	Ribosomes	Pink
Where protein production takes place	Endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER)	Grey
