Cell Organelles Vocab

Contains genetic material; considered the control center of the cell.

• lysosome

• nucleus

• golgi body

• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

Involved in cleanup in the cell; digests and recycles materials in the cell. It is also involved in waste removal.

• lysosomes

• golgi apparatus

• mitochondria

• chloroplasts

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Converts chemical energy into energy that is useable by the cell.

• nucleus

• chloroplasts

• lysosomes

• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-7

Stores, modifies and packages proteins; gets proteins ready for specific functions and prepares them for transport.

• ribosomes

• lysosomes

• golgi body

• endoplasmic reticulum

Converts carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sunlight to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Found in plant cells and some algae.

• mitochondria

• chloroplasts

• endoplasmic reticulum

• ribosomes

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

Makes and transports lipids and proteins, removes toxins, and is a roadway for transportation in the cell. Ribosomes are found on some of this organelle.

• endoplasmic reticulum

• cytoplasm

• vacuole

• ribosomes

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Rigid outermost cell layer found in plants and certain algae, bacteria, and fungi. This cell part is not found in animal cells. It is involved in support and protection of the cell.

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• chloroplasts

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Contains the organelles and cytoplasm of a cell; cell part is that it is not solid so it permits nutrients and water to pass into and waste to pass out of the cell.

• chloroplasts

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

An organelle that is the site where protein is built in the cell. DNA, genetic code, is used to build proteins at this organelle.

• endoplasmic reticulum

• golgi apparatus

• ribosome

• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

Organelle involved in storage of nutrients, water, and cellular waste.

• lysosome

• vacuole

• cytoplasm

• nucleus
