Golgi apparatus |
Stacks of flattened membrane sacs located near the nucleus |
Modification and export of proteins |
|
Vacuoles |
Fluid-filled or solid-filled and membrane-bounded spaces in the cell cytoplasm |
Store water and other substances, food, pigments and waste products Provides turgidity to the cells |
|
Lysosomes |
Simple, tiny, single membrane-bound sacs dispersed in cell cytoplasm |
Digest and remove wastes from the cell |
