Cellular Organelles

Organelle that links amino acids together to make proteins. 

• ribosome
• endoplasmic reticulum 
• vacuole 
• nucleus

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Layered stack of flat membrane-enclosed spaces containing enzymes that process, sort, and deliver proteins. 

• Golgi apparatus 
• vacuole 
• cell wall
• none of these

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Fluid filled sac for storage of materials; stores food, water, and enzymes. 

• vacuole 
• centrosome 
• nucleus 
• chloroplast

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Small membrane-bound sac that contains and transports materials within the cytoplasm; for storage. 

• vesicle
• nucleolus 
• chloroplast
• cytoskeleton 

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Bean-shaped organelle that supplies energy to the cell and has its own ribosomes and DNA. 

• mitochondria
• nucleus
• cell wall 
• smooth endoplasmic reticulum

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

This organelle is found only in plants; it takes up a lot of space and strengthens cells and helps to support the entire plant. 

• central vacuole 
• chloroplast
• mitochondroa 
• nucleus 

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Dense area of the nucleus that is essential for making protiens. 

• nucleolus
• ribosome 
• lysosome 
• cytoskeleton 

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle composed of many membranes used to convert solar energy into chemical energy; contains chlorophyll and is where photosynthesis occurs. 

• chloroplast
• smooth endoplasmic reticulum
• nucleus
• vesicle

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

A rigid structure that gives protection, support, and shape to plants, algae, fungi and some bacteria. 

• cell wall
• cell membrane 
• cytoskeleton 
• cytoplasm 

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

A network of proteins such as microfilaments, microtubules, that are inside of eukaryotic cells that support it and gives cells their shape. 

• cytoskeleton
• cell wall
• nucleus 
• ribosome
