Ribosome
Organelle where amino acids are linked, according to instructions, to build the protein
Mitochondrion
Organelle where ATP is formed; provides energy source for the protein manufacturing activity
Endoplasmic reticulum
Channels through which the newly made protein is moved within a cell
Golgi complex
Organelle that packages protein into vesicles for transport across the plasma membrane out of the cell
Lysosomes
Contain enzymes tea break down all four types of macromolecules. (Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids)
Chloroplasts (in plants)
Converts solar energy into chemical energy
Vacuole (in plants)
Storage of wastes and other materials
