Identify the function of each organelle listed: Mitochondrion, Ribosome, Golgi apparatus, and Central vacuole.
Recall that the mitochondrion is primarily responsible for energy production through cellular respiration, not storage.
Understand that ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis and do not store water, ions, or waste products.
Recognize that the Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and lipids but is not a storage organelle for water or waste.
Know that the central vacuole in plant cells is a large organelle that stores water, ions, and waste products, maintaining cell turgor and homeostasis.
