CELLULAR ORGANELLES

Organelle that links amino acids together to make proteins.

• ribosome

• endoplasmic reticulum

• vacuole

• nucleus

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

Layered stack of flat membrane-enclosed spaces containing enzymes that process, sort, and deliver proteins.

• Golgi apparatus

• vacuole

• cell wall

• none of these

Fluid filled sac for storage of materials; stores food, water, and enzymes.

• vacuole

• centrosome

• nucleus

• chloroplast

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Small membrane-bound sac that contains and transports materials within the cytoplasm; for storage.

• vesicle

• nucleolus

• chloroplast

• cytoskeleton

Bean-shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell and has its own ribosomes and DNA.

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• cell wall

• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-7

This organelle is found only in plants; it takes up a lot of space and strengthens cells and helps to support the entire plant.

• central vacuole

• chloroplast

• mitochondroa

• nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Dense area of the nucleus that is essential for making proteins.

• nucleolus

• ribosome

• lysosome

• cytoskeleton

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle located near the nucleus in the cytoplasm that helps to separate the cell during mitosis.

• centrosome

• vacuole

• cell membrane

• lysosome

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Organelle composed of many membranes used to convert solar energy into chemical energy; contains chlorophyll and is where photosynthesis occurs.

• chloroplast

• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• nucleus

• vesicle

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

A rigid structure that gives protection, support, and shape to plants, algae, fungi and some bacteria.

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoskeleton

• cytoplasm
