An extensive network of tubules near the nucleus that develop and transport proteins

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Apparatus

• Lysosome

• Ribosome

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Controls what enters and exits the cell.

• Cell wall

• Plasma membrane

• Nucleus

• Mitochondrion

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The site of cellular respiration that produces an energy rich molecule called ATP

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Mitochondrion

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Small structures free in the cytoplasm or associated with the endoplasmic reticulum that carry out protein synthesis (make proteins)

• Ribosomes

• Lysosomes

• Peroxisomes

• Vesicles

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Stores, modifies and packages proteins for export from the cell

• Chloroplast

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Apparatus

• Mitochondrion

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The area where DNA resides that directs the activities of the cell

• Nucleolus

• Nucleus

• Plasma membrane

• Cytoplasm

A region inside the cell where the organelles occur

• Cytoskeleton

• Cell suspension

• Plasma membrane

• Cytoplasm
