the cell.
a. ________________________________
2. These organelles break down the cell’s waste products and detoxify poisons.
a. ________________________________
3. These little organelles follow instructions from the nucleus and create proteins that the cell needs.
a. ________________________________
4. This thin lining controls what molecules enter and leave the cell.
a. ________________________________
5. This fluid maintains the internal pressure of the cell, and holds many important nutrients.
