Organelle Structure and Function

Control center in the cell that directs all the cells activities

• Nucleus
• Rough ER
• Golgi Complex
• Chloroplast

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Gel-like fluid that fills the inside of the cell. 

• chloroplast
• Nucleoplasm
• Cytoplasm
• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle in the cell that stores water, waste and food. 

• Chloroplast
• Vacuole
• Ribosome
• Smooth ER

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle that goes through photosynthesis to make the plants food.  It contains the green pigment chlorophyll

• chloroplast
• Golgi comples
• Large central vacuole
• Ribosome

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

Organelle that breaks down waste, worn out cell parts and food.

• lysosome
• ribosome
• rough ER
• cell membrane

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Protective barrier that surrounds all cell types that controls what enters and leaves the cell.

• nuclear membrane
• cytoplasm
• Cell wall 
• Cell membrane

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the organelle where energy is made during a process called cellular respiration.  It is often called the powerhouse of the cell.

• Golgi complex
• mitochondria
• chloroplast
• smooth ER

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

Organelle that modifies and packages proteins that will be remain in the cell.  Can be rough or smooth.

• lysosome
• Golgi complex
• chloroplast
• endoplasmic reticulum

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle that makes proteins.  They may be found floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER.

• ribosomes
• lysosomes
• Golgi comples
• nucleosome

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle that modifies and packages proteins that will be exported (sent) out of the cell.

• ER
• Lysosome
• Golgi complex
• Ribosome
