Cell Theory Test Review

This component separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm and surrounds the entire nucleus.

• Nuclear Membrane
• Nucleus

This structure is located inside the nucleus and works to produce ribosomes.

• Nucleolus
• Chromatin

This part of the cell holds the genetic blueprints or the DNA and is made up of proteins.

• Nucelolus

• Chromatin

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

This organelle directs all cell activities and contains the genetic material or DNA.

• Chloroplast

• Cytoplasm

• Nucleolus

• Nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle moves material from one part of the cell to another.

• Lysosomes

• Ribosomes

• Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is where specific proteins are made. This organelle receives instructions from the nucleus about how and when to make those proteins.

• Vacuole

• ER

• Ribosomes

• Lysosome

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

These organelles break down food molecules in order to release energy for eukaryotic cells.

• Ribosomes

• Mitochondria

• Vacuole

• Lysosome

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-7

This component of the cell stores waste in addition to food and water for later use.

• Vacuoles

• Ribosomes

• ER

• Nucleous

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

These organelles found only in animal cells, contain fluids that digest waste & damaged cell parts.

• Nucleous

• Cytoplasm

• Golgi Bodies

• Lysosomes

This component found only in plant cells is a rigid structure that is outside the cell membrane and provides an extra layer of support and protection for the cell.

• Cell Membrane

• Lysosome

• Chromatin

• Cell Wall
