Cell Parts and Functions

Cells that do not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Eukaryotic

• Prokaryotic

• Animal Cells

Complex cells that contain a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Bacteria

• Prokaryotic

• Eukaryotic

Flexible outer covering that allow some materials to pass into or out of the cell.

• cell wall

• membrane

• endoplasmic reticulum

• gogli apparatus

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Genetic material in the nucleus is found in this form: a complex of DNA would up around proteins.

• nucleolus

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• chromatin

Found in eukaryotic cells only! Contains all the blueprints for the cell processes.

• nucleus

• nuclear envelope

• nucleolus

• cytoplasm

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

Not found in animal cells. This rigid outer covering helps to support and protect plant cells while letting some substances like water and oxygen into the cell.

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• chromatin

Found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. These little organelles are the place that the proteins get assembled.

• nucleus

• Golgi apparatus

• ribosome

• chloroplast

These little sacs contain enzymes that break down food molecules like lipids, carbohydrates and proteins that enter the cell.

• lysosomes

• vacuoles

• vesicles

• nucleus

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The gel-like material that is found between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It serves as a support for all the cell's organelles.

• lysosomes

• cytoskeleton

• cytoplasm

• vacuoles

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Found only in plant cells. These organelles convert sunlight energy into food molecules during photosynthesis.

• vacuole

• lysosome

• mitochondria

• chloroplast
