Document Summary

Some animals, like humans, have trillions of cells, while others, like bacteria, are mad of just one cell. Cells are like little societies in which each organelle performs a different job. Mitochondria (power plant) mitochondria are like the power plants of the cell. They produce energy-rich molecule called atp, which fuels most of the action in the cell. Golgi apparatus (packaging plant) like a packaging plant, one of the golgi apparatus" main jobs is grouping items (liquids and proteins) and packaging them in vesicles (packets). The golgi apparatus then ships its packages to different destinations some leave the cell, while others go to the other. Why, send them to the lysosomes and peroxisomes of course. Like recycling stations, these organelles break down waste and detoxify poisons to clean up the cell. In addition, they salvage any materials that the cell can use. Like animals, all plants are made of cells!
