It modifies proteins and lipids (fats) that have been previously synthesized to send them to where it belongs, outside or inside the cell. Rigid layer that gives shape to the cell. It has protection and structural functions It is responsible for the synthesis of proteins, which constitute the extracellular matrix, the enzymes of lysosomes and cell membranes. In charge of synthesizing proteins Delimits and protects the cell and allows the passage of substances through it Its function consists of using the energy of sunlight for the synthesis of sugars They contain enzymes that are used to digest organic materials Its main function is the biosynthesis of ribosomes and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Produces most of the lipids (fats) In plant cells it serves as storage and helps with homeostasis. Involved in cell division in animal cells Its functions are to carry the organelles, it is a storage of substances and supports the cell. Its function is the oxidation of sugars (Krebs cycle, beta-oxidation of fatty acids) and obtaining ATP
