In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.]]> 2022-09-21 13:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/acervojohnpaul/eo44kdg6o2lhiyq3/wish/2306833120 acervojohnpaul https://padlet.com/acervojohnpaul/eo44kdg6o2lhiyq3/wish/2306834101 Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process.

Through a series of chemical reactions, mitochondria break down glucose into an energy molecule known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used to fuel various other cellular processes.]]> 2022-09-21 13:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/acervojohnpaul/eo44kdg6o2lhiyq3/wish/2306835051 acervojohnpaul https://padlet.com/acervojohnpaul/eo44kdg6o2lhiyq3/wish/2306893978 The endoplasmic reticulum can either be smooth or rough, and in general its function is to produce proteins for the rest of the cell to function. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has on it ribosomes, which are small, round organelles whose function it is to make those proteins.]]> 2022-09-21 13:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/acervojohnpaul/eo44kdg6o2lhiyq3/wish/2306893978 acervojohnpaul https://padlet.com/acervojohnpaul/eo44kdg6o2lhiyq3/wish/2306895882 The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress.
