Question

cells & organelles
directions: match the function cards and memory items by gluing them into the correct locations in the chart below.
organelle\tfunction/description\thow can i remember it?
cell
membrane\t\tmake me something sweet to eat
cell wall\t\tim a brick wall.
cytoplasm\t\ti make \some\ nice proteins.
mitochondria\t\ti am a \mighty\ power house.
lysosomes\t\ti clean things up! (hint: lysol)
vacuoles\t\till store anything. (hint: vacuum bags)
golgi bodies\t\tim a \golden\ packer.
chloroplasts\t\tsail through my plasma.
endoplasmic
reticulum\t\tim a transporter.
ribosomes\t\tmembers only can come and go.
nucleus\t\tim the control center.
nucleolus\t\ti am the little nucleus.
chromatin\t\tim a \tin\ of information

Explanation:

Cell membrane: Controls what enters and leaves the cell (like a "members - only" access).
Cell wall: Provides structural support (like a brick wall).
Cytoplasm: Holds organelles and is the site of many chemical reactions (no direct match in given memory items but could be related to general cell activities).
Mitochondria: Produces energy (a "mighty" power - house).
Lysosomes: Digest waste materials (clean things up).
Vacuoles: Store substances (store anything).
Golgi Bodies: Modify, sort, and package proteins (a "GOLden" packer).
Chloroplasts: Site of photosynthesis (no perfect match but related to energy - production in plants).
Endoplasmic Reticulum: Transports substances (a transportER).
Ribosomes: Synthesize proteins (make "some" nice proteins).
Nucleus: Controls cell activities (the control center).
Nucleolus: Involved in ribosome synthesis (the little nucleus).
Chromatin: Contains genetic information (a "tin" of information).

Answer:

Cell Membrane: Members only can come and go.
Cell Wall: I'm a brick wall.
Cytoplasm: No perfect match but related to general cell - activities.
Mitochondria: I am a "mighty" power house.
Lysosomes: I clean things up! (Hint: Lysol)
Vacuoles: I'll store anything. (Hint: Vacuum Bags)
Golgi Bodies: I'm a "GOLden" packer.
Chloroplasts: No perfect match but related to plant energy - production.
Endoplasmic Reticulum: I'm a transportER.
Ribosomes: I make "some" nice proteins.
Nucleus: I'm the control center.
Nucleolus: I am the little nucleus.
Chromatin: I'm a "tin" of information.
