NGSS.MS-LS3-1

Which organelle processes and transports molecules for the cell, and sends away molecules in vesicles?

• Golgi Apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplasts

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

What organelle within the cell is the "ultimate packaging center" because it receives items from the transport vesicles pinched off from the ER, contains enzymes that can modify molecules, and sorts the materials it receives to be sent around the cell.

• Golgi Apparatus

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Chloroplasts

What do Mitochondria do?

• Process and package molecules within the cell and cend them to where they need to go in the cell.

• Synthesize and package proteins into vesicles.

• Make ATP energy for the cell in a process called cellular respiration.

• Make glucose for plant cells in a process called photosynthesis.
