Cellular Organelles

Portion of the cell outside the nucleus.

• cytoplasm

• cell wall

• chloroplasts

• vacuoles

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The control center of the cell.

• nucleus

• vacuoles

• cytoplasm

• cell membrane

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Surrounds the nucleus and is composed of two membranes.

• nuclear envelope/membrane

• nucleus

• lysosomes

• chromatin

Granular material in the nucleus. Consists of DNA bound to protein.

• chromatin

• nuclear envelope/membrane

• Golgi apparatus

• mitochondria

Where the assembly of ribosomes begins.

• nucleolus

• lysosomes

• vacuoles

• nucleus

Small particles of RNA and protein found throughout the cytoplasm where proteins are assembled.

• ribosomes

• nuclear envelope/membrane

• cell membrane

• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Where lipid components of the cell membrane are assembled, along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell.

• Endoplasmic Reticulum (rough & smooth)

• chloroplasts

• cytoplasm

• chromatin

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell.

• Golgi Apparatus

• cell wall

• ribosomes

• nucleolus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Small organelles filled with enzymes. These break down materials in the cell.

• lysosomes

• vacuoles

• nuclear envelope/membrane

• chloroplasts

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Store materials

• vacuoles
