Cell Parts

The cytoplasm holds all the cell's organelles and allows them to function. It contains structures like the vacuole for storage, ribosomes for protein synthesis, and lysosomes for waste digestion. The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus work together to modify and transport proteins, while mitochondria generate energy and centrioles aid in cell division. Overall, the cytoplasm and its organelles work cooperatively to keep the cell functioning.

Cytoplasm:

The cytoplasm is the environment inside the plasma


membrane. It is the jelly like semi fluid that fills the
inside of a cell to give suspension for other cell parts
and organelles. The thick liquid holds everything in the
cell in place to maintain the cells shape and order. It
also can be used as a storage place for chemicals.
Vacuole:

Golgi Apparatus:
The Golgi apparatus is a flattened stack of membrane
that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins into sacs
called vesicles. It modifies proteins delivered from the
rough endoplasmic reticulum, creates lysosomes and
transports lipids around the cell. It is usually located by
the nucleus of a cell.
