The function of the "powerhouse" mitochondria is

• is to make proteins for the cell.

• transport materials in and out of the cell.

• break down waste products for the cell.

• break down glucose through cellular respiration and make energy for the cell.

Ribosomes are" little protein factories" found throughout the cytoplasm. Ribosomes are important because

• they make proteins for the cell.

• they make glucose for the cell.

• they transport materials throughout the cell.

• they control the cell's activities
