NGSS.MS-LS3-1

This is the jellylike fluid inside a cell that contains all of the organelles.

• ribosomes

• cytoplasm

• chloroplasts

• cell wall

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

• Cell Wall

• Nucleus

• Cell Membrane

What are all living things made up of? This is the smallest functional and structural unit of all living organisms.

• Ribosomes

• Cells

• Chloroplasts

• Prokaryotes

NGSS.MS-LS1-1

A single-celled organism that does NOT have a nucleus or membrane-bound nucleus. The DNA just floats around in the cytoplasm (gel-like fluid).

• Eukaryote

• Prokaryote

• Big Cell

An organism made up of cells that have their DNA in nucleus. They have membrane-bound organelles. As in... the organelles STAY put!

• Eukaryote

• Prokaryote

• Small Cell
