Cell Structure and Function (2025)

This part of a cell controls what goes in and out of the cell. It is often known as the door or window of the cell.

• Cell Membrane

• Golgi Apparatus

• Cell Wall

• Cytoplasm

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the protective outer layer of plant cells. It is often known as the brick wall of the cell.

• Cell Membrane

• Golgi Apparatus

• Cell Wall

• Cytoplasm

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is a network of membranes that proceses proteins and lipids

• endoplasmic reticulum

• ribosomes

• golgi apparatus

• lysosomes

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This cell structure is green colored and collects sunlight which it converts to sugars and energy for the cell. Photosynthesis happens here.

• chloroplasts

• cytoplasm

• cell wall

• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

This cell structure breaks down (digest) worn out cell parts to reuse. It is often referred to as the "recycle center"

• cytoplasm

• lysosomes

• mitochondria

• vacuoles

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the fluid jelly water like material that fills the space between the cell organelles and hold them. It helps to carry nutrients, proteins and other materials through the cell. It is referred to the air and roads of the cell.

• cytoplasm

• lysosome

• chloroplast

• cell membrane

NGSS.MS-LS1-1

This cell structure is where the cell gets its energy to live and function. It is known as the power and battery of the cell.

• Nucleus
• Golgi Body
• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the "Amazon Warehouse" of the cell that packs and ships out materials to other parts of the cell.

• Nucleus
• Golgi Apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Which part of the cell is often called "the brain of the cell" because it directs all the cell's activities

• golgi apparatus

• endoplasmic reticulum
• nucleus
• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is called the storage unit of the cell since it stores water as well as food and waste products.

• nucleus
• vacuole
• chloroplast
• ribosome
