I am the control center of the cell, containing DNA.

 What is the nucleus?

200

I’m known as the powerhouse of the cell because produce energy.

  What is the mitochondrion?

300

I transport proteins and other materials throughout the cell.  

  What is the endoplasmic reticulum?

400

I digest waste materials and damaged cell parts.

  What is the lysosome?

I synthesize lipids and detoxify harmful substances, especially in liver cells.      

 What is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Name That Organelle

100

I’m a jelly-like fluid where all organelles are suspended.  

 What is the cytoplasm?

200

  I’m a stiff outer layer found only in plant cells that gives support.
