Organelles that store, clean up, and support:

• vacuoles, lysosomes, and the cytoskeleton
  
• vacuoles, cell wall, cell membrane
• cell wall, vacuoles, chloroplasts
• mitochondria, chloroplasts, smooth ER

____________ break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins into small molecules that can be used by the rest of the cell.

• Nuclei
• Mitochondria
• Chloroplasts
• Lysosomes

It helps the cell maintain its shape and is also involved in movement.

• cytoskeleton
• chloroplasts
• nucleus
• cell membrane
