Cell Structures and Organelles (Advanced Biology Chapter 4)

This organelle is found in plant cells only and is the site of photosynthesis.

• mitochondria

• chloroplast

• ribosome

• vacuole

NGSS.HS-LS2-5

Found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, this organelle is the site of protein synthesis.

• mitochondria

• chloroplast

• ribosome

• lysosome

Usually a storage organelle, this is large and centrally located in plant cells.

• peroxisome

• lysosome

• vacuole

• ribosome

This double-membraned organelle is the site of cellular respiration (production of ATP).

• chloroplast

• mitochondria

• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• rough endoplasmic reticulum

NGSS.HS-LS1-7

Making up the surface area of a cell, this organelle regulates material moving into and out of the cell.

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• cytoskeleton

• golgi apparatus

Used for structural support and protection, this layer of complex carbohydrates is found outside the cell membrane.

• cytoskeleton

• vacuole

• chloroplast

• cell wall

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Semi-fluid matrix inside the cell (outside the nucleus) that contains organelles.

• cytoskeleton

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• nucleolus

Contains centrioles...important in microtubule organization and cell division.

• cytoplasm

• extracellular matrix

• cytoskeleton

• centrosome

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

Specialized vesicle that contains powerful digestive enzymes. Used to digest and recycle large molecules.

• nucleus

• nucleolus

• lysosome

• golgi apparatus

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

Specialized vesicle that contains enzymes that are used to catalyze reactions that produce hydrogen peroxide.

• peroxisome

• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

• rough endoplasmic reticulum

• chromoplast
