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 Involved in cell division in animal cells Its main function is the biosynthesis of ribosomes and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). In charge of synthesizing proteins They contain enzymes that are used to digest organic materials Its function is the oxidation of sugars (Krebs cycle, beta-oxidation of fatty acids) and obtaining ATP Its function consists of using the energy of sunlight for the synthesis of sugars It contains most of the genetic material of the cell - DNA and regulates the activities of the cell. Delimits and protects the cell and allows the passage of substances through it Produces most of the lipids (fats) It is responsible for the synthesis of proteins, which constitute the extracellular matrix, the enzymes of lysosomes and cell membranes. In plant cells it serves as storage and helps with homeostasis.
