CELL ORGANELLES

3. Its primary function is to package long DNA molecules into more compact, denser structures.
5. It functions to house and maintain an optimal environment for the cellular organelles.
6. It is a cell organelle that that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process.
8. Its main function is to store substances, typically either waste or harmful substances, or useful substances the cell will need later on.
9. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts and they may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

1. A complex molecular machine found inside the living cells that produce proteins from amino acids during a process called protein synthesis or translation.
2. It produces the energy necessary for the cell's survival and functioning.
3. A specialized cellular matrix that surrounds every cell of a plant and provides the cell with both structural support and protection, and also acts as a filtering mechanism.
4. A double membrane-bound organelle involved in the synthesis and storage of food.
7. It controls and regulates the activities of the cell (e.g., growth and metabolism) and carries the genes, structures that contain the hereditary information.
