Lesson Check: Cell Structure and Function

The _____ is a densely packed area in a cell that contains the genetic material - DNA - for controlling the cell's activities.

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This outermost layer protects and supports the cells of plants and some other organisms.

• Cell Membrane

• Cell Wall

• Cytoplasm

• Golgi Apparatus

This structure surrounds the cytoplasm of all cells and controls what enters and leaves the cell.

• Cell Membrane

• Cellophane

• Cell Wall

• Cellulose

This fluid in the cell is where the organelles are found. It contains water and chemicals the cell needs.

• Blood

• Cytoplasm

• Plasma

• Vacuole
