Organelles

Tiny structures within a cell that carry out specific functions for the cell (nucleus, vacuole, etc...)

• organelles

• prokaryotes

• eukaryotes

• mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle found in plant and animal cells that contains DNA and controls cell's activity.

• nucleus

• vacuole

• chloroplast

• cell membrane

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Which organelle is considered the "brain" of the cell and is the control center of cell activity?

• nucleus

• vacuole

• mitochondria

• chloroplast

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle found in both plant and animal cells that gives the cell shape. It is a fluid and allows the other organelles to move within the cell.

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

• cell wall

• cell membrane

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle in both plant and animal cells that surrounds and contains the cell. It controls what enters and exits the cell.

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• vacuole

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle in plant and animal cells that makes energy for the cell.

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• vacuole

• chloroplast

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The "powerplant" of the cell.

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• vacuole

• cell membrane

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The organelle in plant and animal cells that store materials including water for the cell.

• vacuole

• mitochondria

• nucleus

• chloroplast

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle could be considered a "water tower." Plant cells have one large one, while animal cells have several smaller ones.

• vacuole

• nucleus

• cell membrane

• mitochondria

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The rigid organelle in plant cells the surrounds the outside of the cell and gives the cell its shape.

• cell wall

• mitochondria

• cell membrane

• vacuole
