Cell Parts

The powerhouse of the cell is the ____________. It converts energy from food into energy the cell can use

• Mitochondria

• Golgi body

• Nucleus

• Ribosomes

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

Where are proteins made? These are the smallest organelles.

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

• Chromosomes

• Ribosomes

This organelle is in both plants and animals. It is a barrier between the cell and the environment, it controls what goes in and out of a cell.

• cell wall

• cell membrane

• cell organelles

• mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This cell part is in ALL cells. It is the gel-like substance that the other cell parts float around in.

• Chloroplasts

• Chromosomes

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is in all eukaryotic cells. It is the control center of the cell because it holds the DNA.

• Mitochondria
• Nucleus
• Chloroplasts
• Golgi body

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is like a recycling center for the cell. It breaks down old materials, and cleans up the waste in cells.

• Ribosomes

• Lysosomes

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Plants perform photosynthesis through this organelle.  It captures energy from the sun and uses it to produce food for the cell.

• Ribosomes 
• Chloroplasts
• Mitochondria
• Golgi Bodies 

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

This structure is in plant cells, but not animal cells. It is outside of the cell membrane and adds more support/structure to the plant.

• Cell Membrane
• Cell Nucleus
• Cell Wall
• Endoplasmic Reticulum

Tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell.

• membranes
• nucleus
• organelles
• tissues

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This structure is a storage tank for the cell. Plants usually have one large one and animals have several small ones.

• Lysosome

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

• Golgi Body
