mostly only in animal cells perform the function of cellular waste disposal. They digest worn-out organelles, food particles, and foreign bodies in the cell.
14
New cards
Endoplasmic reticulum
is a structure that transports glycogen, proteins, and other compounds. 
15
New cards
Centrioles
The centrioles help with cell division during cell replication. (Animal cells only)
16
New cards
Vesicles
 are part of the transportation system of the cell
