Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Controls what enters and exits a cell; maintains homeostasis.

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• Golgi body

• cytoplasm

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Has ribosomes attached to its membrane, transports proteins around the cell.

• chloroplast

• Smooth ER

• Rough ER

• lysosome

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Breaks down old organelles and material taken in by the cell.

• lysosome

• mitochondria

• ribosome

• Golgi body

What is the cytoplasm?

• protective layer

• Rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane

• gel like fluid in which organelles are suspended.

• Stores water and gives the cell structure.
