NGSS.MS-LS1-2

A ____________________ is a sac-like organelle that stores food, water, and other material.

• vacuole

• mitochondria

• endoplasmic reticulum

• ribosomes

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

The ___________________ is like a security guard for the cell. This thin flexible barrier surrounds the cell and controls which substances can enter and exit the cell.

• mitochondria

• ribosomes

• cell membrane

• cell wall

Known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, the ___________________ are rod-shaped organelles that convert energy in food to the energy the cell can use to function.

• endoplasmic reticulum

• mitochondria

• cell membrane

• golgi apparatus

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The ___________________ is called the control center of the cell because it directs many of the cell's activities. It is also home to the cell's genetic material known as DNA.

• nucleus

• golgi apparatus

• vacuole

• mitochondria

Sometimes located on the endoplasmic reticulum or in the cytoplasm, ___________________ are small grain-shaped organelles that produce protein.

• cytoplasm

• golgi apparatus

• ribosomes

• cells

Located in plants and some other organisms, ___________________ capture the energy from sunlight and change it into a form of energy cells can use to make food.

• cell wall

• chloroplasts

• lysosomes

• vacuole
