NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This outermost layer which 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

These organelles convert the energy in food molecules to a form the cell can use. Also called the powerhouse or energy center.

• Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria

• Lysosomes

• Ribosomes

These tiny cell structures assemble protein molecules from amino acids, and scatter them throughout the cell for use.

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

• Nucleic Acids

• Ribosomes

These organelles in plants capture light energy and use the light energy to convert the green pigment inside to glucose (sugars) .

• Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Vacuoles

These organelles are used for storage of food, water, and waste in Animal cells. Plants have one that is very large and filled with water.

• Cell Wall

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

• Vacuole

Which one of the following is not part of the cell theory?

• all living things are made of cells
• cells are the basic units of structure and function of living things
• new cells are produced from existing cells
• cells never die
