Cytoplasm

• Cell-like fluid that carries nutrients, proteins, and organelles around the cell.

• Converts energy in food to energy used by the cell.

• Breaks down food particles and worn-out cell parts.

Mitochondrion

• Converts energy in food to energy used by cell.

• Produces proteins needed by cell.

• Stores water, food, waste products used by cell.

Lysosomes

• Break down food particles and worn-out cell parts.

• Stores water, food, and sunlight.

• Distributes materials from one cell to another.

Golgi Apparatus - packages and distributes materials from Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)
