Cell Parts and Organelles

Rod shaped structures that are nicknamed the “powerhouses” of a cell. They convert food into energy the cell can use

• nucleus

• mitochondria

• chloroplast

• ribosomes

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Liquid that fills the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus. It is constantly moving other organelles around the cell.

• cell membrane

• cell wall

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This is a hard outer layer that is found in plant cells.

• cell membrane

• cell walls

• nucleus

• Golgi apparatus

A thin, flexible barrier that surrounds a cell and controls what things come in and out of a cell. The door of the cell.
