Cells & Cell Organelles

Thick outer layer in plant cells. Made of carbohydrate cellulose. It maintains the shape of these cells and creates a protective barrier.

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• organelle

• vacuole

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to carry out photosynthesis. Found in plant cells and some protists.

• ribosome

• lysosome

• chloroplast

• Golgi apparatus
