NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This structure supports and protects plant cells.

• Nucleus
• Cell Wall
• Cell membrane
• Cytoplasm

This structure controls what can enter and leave a plant/animal cell.

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Cell Membrane

• Golgi Body

This is the cell's "control center."

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

In plant cells, this structure captures energy from the sun to produce food.

• Ribosomes
• Cell Wall
• Vacuoles
• Chloroplasts

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

This structure is a storage area for the cell, holds water, nutrients and waste products.

• Lysosome

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

• Golgi Body

This small structures break down materials in the cell. It's name comes from the word that means "to burst" in Latin.

• Cholorplasts

• Ribosomes

• Lysosomes

• Golgi Body

This structure finishes the production of proteins (started by ribsomes) and makes lipids in the "smooth" version of this organelle.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Lysosome

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

This structure produces protein in the cell.

• Ribosomes
• Cytoplasm
• Nucleus
• Lysosomes
