NGSS

the cell boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell

Cell membrane explained in an easy to understand way.

the plant organelle that uses light energy to make food

Chloroplast explained in an easy to understand way.

Cytoplasm explained in an easy to understand way.

The membranes in a cells cytoplasm that move proteins

Endoplasmic reticulum

The membranes in a cell's cytoplasm that move proteins endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is like a transportation system inside a cell that helps move and make proteins and other important substances.

The cell structure that packages materials for transport within and out of cell

Golgi body

The cell structure that packages materials for transport within and out of the cell is called the Golgi body. The Golgi body is like a post office in a cell, sorting and sending materials where they need to go.

A cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes

Lysosome

A cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosome. Lysosomes are like tiny recycling centers in cells that break down waste and old cell parts using special enzymes.

The cell organelle that releases energy from food molecules

Mitochondrion

The cell organelle that releases energy from food molecules is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are like tiny power plants in cells that provide energy for the cell to use.

A small cell structure that builds proteins

Ribosome

A small cell structure that builds proteins. Ribosome. Ribosomes are tiny factories inside cells that make proteins, which help the cell do its job.

the cell organelle that stores materials

Vacuole explained in an easy to understand way.

The membranes in a cells cytoplasm that move proteins

The cell structure that packages materials for transport within and out of cell

A cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes

The cell organelle that releases energy from food molecules
