Cell Organelles Structure and Function

Stores materials, including water, nutrients and wastes. Found in animal cells and there is a large one in plant cells.

• chloroplast

• golgi body

• vacuole

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The power house of the cell. It releases energy from food for cell activities.

• chloroplast

• ER

• mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

Structures in the cell where proteins are made. (Free or attached to ER)

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• chloroplasts

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Tiny structures inside cells that carry out specific functions or jobs within the cell.

• organs

• organelles

• organism

NGSS.MS-LS1-1

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Organelles that capture light energy and make food for plants in the process of photosynthesis

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

• chloroplasts

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

Receives, processes, packages and stores proteins made by the RER.

• cell membrane

• cytoplasm

• golgi body

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Contains genetic material and directs all cell activity: the "control center" of the cell.

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• cell membrane

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This cell part is found in plant cells , not animal cells, and is rigid and provides shape and support.

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• cytoplasm

Cell wall, chloroplasts, and a LARGE CENTRAL vacuole are only found in

• animal cells

• plant cells

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

What is the function of a chloroplast?

• makes proteins for animal cells

• allows materials in and out of the cell

• provides structure and support

• creates sugar via photosynthesis
