Cell/Organelle Functions

This organelle is the thick surface structure that gives shape, support, and protection to PLANT Cells.

• Cell Wall

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Golgi Body

This organelle is the control center of the cell: It directs all the cell's activities.

• Mitochondria

• Chloroplast

• Nucleus

• Cell Membrane

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is the "powerhouse of the cell": It produces the energy for cell functions.

• Mitochondria

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Lysosome

• Golgi Body
