NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This part of a cell controls which substances can enter and leave a cell.

• cell membrane

• cell

• cell wall

• mitochondrion

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This gives a plant cell a rigid box like shape.

• cell membrane

• chloroplast

• cytoplasm

• cell wall

These organelles capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell.
