NGSS.MS-LS1-6

A rigid structure that gives protection, support, and shape to plants, algae, fungi and some bacteria. 

• cell wall
• cell membrane 
• cytoskeleton 
• cytoplasm 

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

A double-layer of phospholipids that forms a boundary between the cell and surrounding environment and controls the passage of materials into and out of the cell.

• cell membrane 
• cell wall
• cytoplasm 
• lysosome
