This is the brain of the cell. It controls the cell's activities.

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

• vacuole

• mitochondrion

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is the jelly-like substance that holds and protects the cell's organelles.

• cytoplasm

• vacuole

• golgi apparatus

• ribosomes

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is a large sac that holds food, water, and waste.

• ribosome

• cell wall

• vacuole

• endoplasmic reticulum

These structures are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they release energy.

• cell wall

• endoplasmic reticulum

• mitochondrion

• ribosomes

This green structure is found only in plant cells and

uses energy from the sun to make food.

• chloroplants

• chloroplast

• chloroplasma

• chlorophorm

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

There are two types of this structure: a smooth and rough.

• endoplasmic reticulum

• vacuole

• cell membrane

• cell wall

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

These organelles build or synthesize proteins for

the cell.
