Function of the cell wall
Surrounds the cell membrane in plants and is used to protect ad support
Function if the nucleus
Act as the brain if the cell and contains DNA

found only in plants and re use to creat sugars from co2 and h2o using sunlight
Function of vacuoles
Storage for water and food
Function of ribosomes
Makes proteins by linking together amino acids
Function of endoplasmic reticulum
Smooth: acts as storage
Rough: used with ribosomes and Golgi in the making and packaging of proteins
Golgi apparatus
