5. Chapter 3: Short Answer #7

#7:
Thesis: Some of the most important cellular organelles are centrioles, cilia/flagella, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, microfilaments, microtubules, mitochondria, nucleus, peroxisomes, plasma membrane, and ribosomes.

Evidence: The centrioles are self-replication organelles and they appear to help in organizing cell division. Cilia/flagella functions are to move fluid through cells. Endoplasmic reticulum manufactures, processes, and transports proteins. The golgi apparatus distributes and ships proteins. Lysosomes functions is to digest- breaking down waste. Microfilaments are an important component to the cytoskeleton. Microtubules are responsible for various types of movements. Mitochondria convert oxygen and nutrients into energy The nucleus function is to be the control center of the cell. Peroxisomes contain enzymes to carry out their functions. Plasma membrane manage the passages for in/out. And lastly the ribosomes function is to make protein.

So What: I believe that  these the main and important cellular organelles and their functions are what keeps the cells alive. They are all needed for their different roles/functions that each perform whether it is to digest, move, react, etc.
