Cell Organelles

The organelle that is the control center of the cell and contains nearly all of the cell’s DNA:

• Ribosome

• Centriole

• Nucleus

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle that assembles proteins in the cytoplasm:

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Mitochondrion

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle where lipids are synthesized along with proteins and other materials that are exported from the cell:

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Apparatus

• Vacuoles & vesicles

• Nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or release from the cell:

• Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Golgi Apparatus

• Vacuoles and Vesicles

• Ribosome

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelles that store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates, and the other one that stores and moves materials between cell organelles, as well as to and from the cell surface:

• Cytoskeleton

• Lysosomes

• Chloroplast

• Vacuoles and Vesicles

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The organelle that breaks down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell:

• Lysosome

• Cytoskeleton

• Golgi Apparatus

• Chloroplast

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

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 captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy stored in food during photosynthesis:

• Chloroplast

• Mitochondrion

• Cell Wall

• Nucleus

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

NGSS.MS-LS1-6

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

Tags

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
