The Cell and Cell Structures

Large oval structure that acts as the control center of the cell, directing all of the cells’ activities

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

• Golgi Apparatus

• Nucleus

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Thick, clear, gel-like fluid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

An organelle that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another

• Cell Wall

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Appartus

• Cytoplasm

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelle in a cell that receives proteins and other newly formed materials from the endoplasmic reticulum, packages them, and distributes them to other parts of the cell

• Golgi Apparatus

• Lysosome

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Chloroplast

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle that helps the cell maintain its shape and is also involved in movement:

• Mitochondrion

• Lysosome

• Cytoskeleton

• Cell Membrane

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food molecules into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use:

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

• Mitochondrion

• Centrioles

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The organelle that acts as a strong supportive wall that shapes and protects the cell:

• Cell Membrane

• Cell Wall

• Cytoskeleton

• Centrioles

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• To control what comes in and out of the cell

• To break down food inside the cell

• to serve as a barrier

• to eat the cells food

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

What is the function of the Vacuoles

• Store food, water and waste

• Receive proteins

• Assembles amino acids

• Found inside the nucleus

Identify the structure that is indicated by the arrow in the image. It also stores water for plants

• cell wall

• central vacuole

• chloroplast

• nucleus
