Vacuoles Vacuoles are temporary storage bubbles for the cell. They store water, food, and waste. In plant cells, vacuoles can be very large. Lysosomes A lysosome is like the cell's garbage and recycling facility. It has chemicals to break down food, cell waste, and foreign particles (bacteria and viruses) that enter the cell. It digests and destroys dead cells or old cell parts, as well as recycles material to make other cells. Mitochondria Mitochondria are the cell's powerhouse. They release energy in food by carrying out a reaction with oxygen, called cellular respiration. Cells that need more energy, like muscle cells, have a larger number of mitochondria. Endoplasmic Reticulum Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a collection of tubes that make, package, and transport proteins and fats. Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface, so it helps make and process proteins. Smooth ER helps make and process lipids, as well as helps detoxify drugs and alcohol from a person's system. Golgi Bodies Golgi Bodies are the packaging, sorting, and distributing facility. They sort proteins and other products from the ER, then package and distribute them to where they need to go (like the Post Office).
