Protein factories
Ribosomes
26
Mailroom of the cell, receives materials and distributes those substances
Golgi bodies
27
Captures the energy from sunlight and uses it for food
Chloroplasts
28
Cells are small because
1. So the cell can function properly 2. This increases the time to get materials to or away from the organelles. 3. As the cell increases more of the cytoplasm is farther from the cell membrane.
