Cell Organelles and Their Functions

This organelle is green, only in plant cells, and converts energy from the Sun into food via photosynthesis.

• Cell Membrane

• Chloroplast

• Vacuole

• Cytoplasm

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

This organelle is in both plant and animal cells. It is a storage compartment for water and waste with Plant cells having a bigger one.

• Vacuole

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

• Cell Wall

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

Why is the vacuole bigger in plant cells than animal cells?

• Animal cells have bigger vacuoles

• Plant cells are bigger most of the time

• They're the same size

• Plant cells require more water

This organelle is a jelly like substance that holds all the organelles in place. It is in plant and animal cells.

• Rough ER

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

• Cell Membrane

What organelle in plant and animal cells is the gatehouse of the cell that allows material, specifically water, into and out of the cell?

• Cell Membrane

• Cell Wall

• Vacuole

• Nucleus

NGSS.MS-LS1-2

This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell and provides and transforms energy into other forms in plant and animal cells.

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

• Vacuole

• Mitochondria

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

This organelle is ONLY in plant cells and gives the plant cell an extra layer of protection and rigid shape.

• Cell Membrane

• Cell Wall

• Vacuole

• Mitochondria

I am the brain of the cell with the DNA and I also control the cell and pass down genetic material to future cells.

• Vacuole

• Ribosome

• Nucleus

• Cell Membrane
