This part of the cell protects and support the cell. It is made of cellulose.

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Golgi body

This part of the cell controls/regulates what goes in an out of the cell.

• Cell membrane

• Cell wall

• Golgi body

This part of the cell is the control center of the cell. It regulates the cell's activities, it is often referred to as the brain of the cell.

• Cell membrane

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

This part of the cell is the site of photosynthesis. It is a green disc-shaped organelle that contains chlorophyll used for capturing sunlight.

• Cell membrane

• Chloroplasts

• Mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

This part of the cell is the storage area of the cell storing water, food and waste. In the plant cell there is typically one, large central __________________.

• vacuole

• lysosome

• nucleus

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This part of the cell is a network of folded membranes. The function is to help transport materials throughout the cell.

• Golgi body

• Endoplasmic reticulum ER

• Mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This part of the cell is often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell. This organelle's function is to break down molecules and release the energy they contain. It is the site of cellular respiration.

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

The function of this organelle is to package products from the endoplasmic reticulum so they can be sent out of the cell.

• Golgi body

• Nucleus

• Chloroplasts
