NGSS.HS-LS1-5

Which of the following statements correctly explains the function of the Golgi apparatus within a cell?

• The Golgi apparatus uses oxygen to convert sugar into chemical energy and also controls the metabolism of the cell
• The Golgi apparatus contains most of the genetic material within the cell and is responsible for gene expression and DNA replication when the cell divides.
• The Golgi apparatus prepares new macromolecules such as fats and lipids by sorting and encasing them before sending them to the correct destination within a cell.
• The Golgi apparatus breaks down molecules that are not needed within the cell, and returns some of the products of digestion to the cell for use in building new cell parts.

Which of the following statements best describes the nucleus of a cell?

• The nucleus has a membrane that allows for active transport of RNA and proteins.
• The nucleus exports lysosomes which direct amino acid production within the cell.
• The nucleus is responsible for supplying the cell with chemical energy in the form of ATP.
• The nucleus contains some of the genetic material in a cell; the majority is contained in the cytoplasm.

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

This structure is only in plant cells. It is outside of the cell membrane and adds more support/structure to the plant.

• Cell Membrane
• Cell Wall
• Nucleus 
• Endoplasmic Reticulum

What would happen to the plant cell without the chloroplasts?

• There wouldn't be an organelle that performs photosynthesis
• There wouldn't be an organelle that serves as the resevoir for water and waste
• There wouldn't be an organelle that regulates what comes in and out of the cell
• They wouldn't be an organelle that makes necesary proteins
