Spot the Organelle by Structure
Cells are full of tiny parts called organelles, each with its own shape and job. Learning to recognize them by structure makes it easier to understand how cells work.
• Nucleus → round “control center” in the middle.
• Mitochondria → bean-shaped, makes energy.
• Ribosomes → tiny dots, build proteins.
• Golgi Apparatus → stacked “pancakes,” package and ship materials.
• Chloroplasts (plants) → oval and green, capture sunlight.

👉 Parent tip: Ask your child to explain how they recognized each organelle—talking it out helps memory stick!
