Vacuoles provide storage for the cell. Vacuoles are membrane-enclosed structures that have a variety of functions depending on cell type. Many cells uptake food through the cell membrane (this process is called phagocytosis), creating a food vacuole. Plant cells have a central vacuole that functions as storage, waste disposal, protection, and hydrolysis.
The Golgi apparatus is the cell organelle responsible for packaging, processing, and shipping proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) throughout the cell.
Lysosomes are the digestive system of the cell. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes which allow them to hydrolyze (break down) proteins, fats, sugars, and nucleic acids taken into the cell as well as break down other worn out organelles within the cell. Lysosomes contain an acidic environment with a pH of around 4.5.
Chloroplasts are responsible for cell energy in plant cells. They are the site of photosynthesis.
