found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes

• cytoplasm

• mitochondria

• golgi apparatus

• nucleolus

What is the function of the mitochondria?

• To act as a "skeleton" for the cell

• To carry out photosynthesis

• To produce energy for the cell

• To store water and food

What is the function of the cytoplasm?

• To provide structure and support for the cell

• To allow the cell to move throughout the human body

• To absorb light in a plant cell

• To act as a jelly-like material to hold organelles in place
