What’s on the Organelles poster
A 10-row table: Organelle · Function.
The eukaryotic cell's components.
- Nucleus — Houses DNA; controls transcription
- Nucleolus — Assembles ribosomes
- Rough ER — Protein synthesis and folding
- Smooth ER — Lipid synthesis; detoxification
- Golgi apparatus — Modifies, sorts and packages proteins
- Mitochondria — ATP production by respiration
- Lysosome — Hydrolytic digestion of waste
- Chloroplast — Photosynthesis — plants only
- Vacuole — Storage and turgor — large in plants
- Cytoskeleton — Shape, transport, division
The secretory pathway runs nucleus → rough ER → Golgi → vesicle → membrane. Tracing it is a standard exam question.

- Who is the Organelles poster for?
- Organelles belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning cell biology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Organelles poster?
- Learn the function, not just the shape. Exams ask what happens if one fails. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Organelles belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Organelles?
- Cell Cycle Control, Differentiation and The Cell Membrane sit alongside Organelles in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Cell Cycle ControlDifferentiationThe Cell Membrane
- Is the Organelles poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Organelles downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Organelles poster print at?
- Organelles is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Organelles loses nothing.Printing guide
